            Bug ID: 60238
           Summary: Allow colon-separated triplet in array initialization
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.9.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: fortran
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: antony at cosmologist dot info

Not really a bug, but ifort (and also going back, CVF) allow a clean array
initialization sytnax like this

    integer :: indices(3)
    indices=[3:5] 


as an alternative to the ugly

indices = (/ (I, I=3, 5) /)

Supporting it would allow easier compiler interoperability.
