[Bug fortran/16509] New: gfortran rejects "REAL R(2) /2*1.0/"

[billingd at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The following program, derived from a case in the g77 testsuite
is accepted by g77 but not gfortran.  I doubt it is standard confirming, 
I looked in the Fortran 77 standard but couldn't see the construct.

Another g77 extension to support?

$ cat k.f
      REAL R(2) /2*1.0/
      END

$ ../gfortran -B.. -O0 -c k.f
 In file k.f:1

      REAL R(2) /2*1.0/
              1
Error: Syntax error in data declaration at (1)
