[Bug fortran/41507] New: Documentation misleading on MAXLOC/MINLOC array type requirement

[domob at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The gfortran manual's documentation about MAXLOC/MINLOC is misleading.  It
claims that the 'array' argument may be of CHARACTER type, which is true for
Fortran 2003.

However, the manual claims the intrinsic is Fortran 90/95 without further
notice about CHARACTER type being allowed only since F2003.  Additionally,
MAXLOC/MINLOC is not even implemented for CHARACTER type in gfortran yet.

I think the manual should at very least reflect what's actually implemented,
rather than just copy the description from the standard.  I've not checked, but
the same problem may exist with other intrinsics as well.
