With Fortran 77, the great free tool ftnchek assisted in finding these
problems and gave a warning that the r.h.s. result was promoted to a variable
of higher precision.  I am not aware of a similar free tool for Fortran 90.

With the gfortran parser in place, this is a good opportunity to fill this gap.
On the other hand, there are lots of real bugs waiting to be fixed... ;-)
