Re: [Patch, Fortran] PR fortran/83522 – reject array-valued substrings

[David Edelsohn <dje.gcc@gmail.com>]

Another data point: I tried some of the testcases with IBM XL Fortran
compiler and it didn't complain or fail.  I have no idea if this
behavior is an IBM extension or how other Fortran compilers behave.

GNU Fortran probably should be compatible with other Fortran
compilers, even if the behavior is not pedantically conformant with
the standard.

Thanks, David
