I have bumped into another problem that I think may be related to this same
topic.
I have an example that generates the following message:

m_pointer_test.f90:22.2:

  b%pa => a
  1
Error: Different types in pointer assignment at (1); attempted assignment of
CLASS(ta) to TYPE(ta)

If in line 14 I make the change from

    type(ta), pointer :: pa => null()

to

    class(ta), pointer :: pa => null()

Then it works but then it does not in my Intel version. Actually I do not see
the reason why the change should be made. I have not been able to trace this to
the standard.
