Well, to tell you the truth: I'd hoped that everyone who complained
about this shortcoming had stopped using g77 ;-)

It's pretty low on my list, because:

1. Only few people run into this limitation.

2. It's a horrible piece of the Fortran Frontend to touch, let alone
   repair.

3. It doesn't silently generate wrong code (which is my definition of
   an urgent bug).

I'm sorry.
