This seems perfectly sensible to me.  But the example Wu posted earlier
does not agree: today gfortran apparently puts out the indirections
explicitly.

Paul Brook had this to say when I asked him:
  When a user says "p foo" they should get the value, not the address of
  the argument.

So it sounds like gfortran will need to be fixed.
