Actually, does it matter whether BOZ for real/complex are valid in F2003 or
not? I think in Fortran 2003 it is clear that they are valid (cf. last
paragraph in comment 15). As we currently do not do any compile-time format
data-type checks and as it is no constraint, can't we simply implement it as
F2008 feature and leave the decision whether BOZ or only OZ or only Z is F2003
to the language lawyers?
