As usual, the DEC manual puts in succinctly:
If MOLD is an array and SIZE is omitted, the result is a rank-one array. Its
size is the smallest that is possible to hold all of SOURCE". 

This is what I have now implemented (and by the way, what I implemented for
simplify_transfer and the trans-intrinsic version....).  However,

"If the physical representation of the result is smaller than SOURCE, the
result contains the right-most bits of SOURCE's bit pattern.
is a killer at this stage in the compilation, since the physical reprentation
of the result is unknown.

I might signal, I guess, that it is the actual argument of an inquiry
function....  Anyway, the logic is there, I just have to figure out where to
deploy it.  Otherwise, I break transfer_array_intrinsic_2.f90, which has an
assignment from an over-large 'transfer' result.

*sigh*
