In principle, it could make sense to construct a one-sized array pointer 
(of any rank) pointing to a scalar, but I agree that if we follow the 
rules of the standard to the letter, it should be rejected (and we do 
reject such a pointer assignment).
So, with this case eliminated, this patch looks good to me as is.

Regarding Toon’s suggestion to ask the fortran committee, it sounds 
sensible.  I propose to prepare something tomorrow.
