Because, I choose not to support invalid code.  One would need
to add a bunch of code to expr.c(simplify_intrinsic_op) to 
detect the BOZ usage and report an error or warning and then
do some conversion.  What does one do with

  if (z'12' .eq. z'4312')

Is this a hard error because both operands are BOZ?
Do you truncate the rhs operand or pad the lhs operand?
Do you simply convert these to INTEGER(16) and let the
compiler generate 128-bit integer code?

For the case

  if (i .eq. z'1234')  ! assuming i is integer

A conversion of the BOZ to the type and kind type of 'i' is possible.
Do we restrict the conversion to only rational operators?
Do we restrict the conversion to only integer comparisons?

What should this code do?

x = 4 * atan(1.) + 1
if (x .ge. z'40490FDB') print* , x
end

with gfortran 9, when compiled and executed it does not
produce output.

Should z'40490FDB' be converted to the type and kind of x?
In that case, gfortran-trunk would print out 4.14159...,
which is incompatiable with previous gfortran 9 and older. 
 
What should be done with unary operators?

i = - z'1234'  ! Assume i is integer.

The evaluation of the rhs is done first, and then assigned
to 'i' where possible conversion is done.

Yes, fixing the code would be preferred.

Thanks,  I take a look at this.  It should be rejected.
