Would it be possible to implement the non-standard extension for a character
argument X in C_LOC(X) to have a LEN >1. Most if not all the current Fortran
compilers provide this extension and I think it would be useful for other users
of gfortran as well.

The feature would allow:

CHARACTER(LEN=80, KIND=C_CHAR), TARGET :: X
....
f_ptr = C_LOC(X)

or for an assumed size character in a subroutine:

CHARACTER(LEN=*, KIND=C_CHAR), TARGET :: X
....
f_ptr = C_LOC(X)

Thanks
