However, the harder case will be the following: integer :: j => null() pointer :: j end because when parsing the init, we don't know yet whether the object is a pointer or not (which means the check would have to be deferred to resolution stage). Looking at F08:R505 and friends, I don't see an obvious reason why any of the cases listed here should be forbidden.
