It is always possible to add test cases if testing is required,
but I don't think this is necessary.  We also do not have test
cases for -fdump-fortran-original, which is also quite handy
and which can find a lot of bugs.

And yes, it is rather useful when debugging issues with global
identifiers, which are a bit special in Fortran.  As I wrote in
my mail when submitting the patch,

That hasn't changed, IMHO.
