This is work that Daniel Kraft and I did (well, I think he did the hard work
and I gave some loose sort of guidance). I seem to remember it was intentional
(it may have been discussed on the list around summer of 2008, but I can't find
it).
Regarding whether it's desirable or not, I think it is right to issue an error:
this is rather recent Fortran code, so people have virtually no reason for not
writing the proper constructor. (Accepting invalid code as a GNU extension
should be done sparsely.)
I'm thus closing as WONTFIX.
