Dear Mikael,
> PS: I hereby confess my failure to not split the patch too much. :-( I hereby confess my failure to find anything to which I could gripe, let alone object! The patch can only be described as a tour de force. Not only is there a lot of it - 6160 lines with context on - but it is well commented and well structured. I cannot see any whitespace out of place or even minor transgressions in respect of gnu coding style. Bah humbug! On top of all that, it even does what is promised! Also, other testers have run it through various benchmarks, as recent threads attest. The only, slight worry that I have is that it is going to make Richi's middle end scalarization nearly impossible to use for gfortran. However, the enhanced capability that this patch brings makes it a worthy addition to gfortran. I bootstrapped and regtested on FC9/x86_64, just for the record. OK for trunk. Many, many thanks for the patch. Paul
