I think it is a bug in gfortran. F2018 shows designator % type-param-name
with blanks around %. For fixed-form source code, blanks are irrelevant.
For free-form source code, 6.3.2.2 has "Blanks may be inserted freely between
tokens to improve readability; for example, blanks may occur between the
tokens that form a complex literal constant."
So, I would think we treat % as a token.
