Daniel,

I'll see what I can come up with  - I have also been feeling round the
edges of how this might be cured.  Implementation of F2003 classes will
require another field in the descriptor.  I am trying to figure out how
best to do this without completely breaking the library API but I
am attempting to design this field to fulfill both functions.

Best regards

Paul
