The cases in comment #0 are rather easily fixable in the current
implementation. However, the harder case will be the following:

integer :: j => null()
pointer :: j
end

because when parsing the init, we don't know yet whether the object is a
pointer or not (which means the check would have to be deferred to resolution
stage).

Looking at F08:R505 and friends, I don't see an obvious reason why any of the
cases listed here should be forbidden.
