Possible extension to be added is the support of:

       data jhlf,jhlg/'f','g'/

Which is interpreted as follows (thanks to Steve Lionel of Intel):
| The character literals are blank-padded on the right to the length of the 
| corresponding variables (or truncated as necessary) and then the ASCII 
| equivalent is assigned.  So what you have here could be replaced by:
|
|       data jhlf,jhlg /Z'20202066',Z'20202067'/
|
| or use transfer('f   ',jhlf), etc.
|
| Effectively, this is the old F66 Hollerith constant style of
| programming.

Found in Cowan's rcn program, which started in 1961.
ftp://aphysics.lanl.gov/pub/cowan/

I don't feel strong about it, but it would make life easier for such old
programs.

Actually, ifort also supports:

       integer :: jhlf
       jhlf = 'f'

Such a character -> integer/real/complex conversion would be something for
-std=legacy.

Just for completeness: This is a regression with regards to g77.

The standards are a mouthful already. Do we need every extension that there
ever was? Besides this PR, demand was non-existent, as far as I can tell.

How about: document the absence of this feature and close as WONTFIX?

------- Comment #3 from jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu dot org  2010-05-12 03:28 -------
With all due respect for Cowan, I think that the program should be revised to
use standard code, or at least not use this particular feature.  The last
revision of the program was in 2004.  I agree we should close this PR.
