Yes it is.  Since we do not have aliassed descriptors and size is not in 
bytes, the offset and the step size cannot be transmitted, in general.  
I have a patch most of the way ready that transfers a temporary to 
procedure and copies it back again to the derived type upon return.  I 
have wrinkle to sort out, which is that the temporary descriptor is zero 
based and my code is not picking that up. The result is that the 
elements get shifted down one place.  I was doing this, when I got 
distracted by the global references and plan to return to it asap.
