I think adding fp16 to the compiler itself is not that difficult – it is
"just" handling 'HF' mode via 'REAL(kind=2)'; this can be done rather
quickly.

@陈刚: If you want to volunteer to add it (know someone who does), I can
give some pointers.*

Additionally support in the libgfortran run-time library should be added
and some testcases written to ensure it works. – I think that is also a
smaller task, but has to be done in addition.
