I slightly prefer this variant.

I wonder if it were better to write "generated from" instead of
"generated for".  A native speaker might help here.

While at it: gfortran now accepts "-std=f2023", which implies that
the limit for line-length in free-form has been increased to 10000
characters, and statements may have up to 1 million characters.
(See Tobias' commit r14-5553-gb9eba3baf54b4f).

I'd consider this as important as the other change... ;-)

Thanks,
Harald
