The correct google groups link would be:

Btw, I'm not completely convinced yet that the code in comment #0 (and #4) is
really legal. No one in the c.l.f. thread has brought up a quote from the
standard which clearly shows that referencing a type-bound generic is legal
without part-ref syntax.


For me, to most convincing reference up to now is this quote from
F08:12.4.3.4.5 (though it still sounds a bit 'cloudy' to me):

NOTE 12.10
In most scoping units, the possible sources of procedures with a particular
generic identifier are the accessible interface blocks and the generic bindings
other than names for the accessible objects in that scoping unit.
