I've done as you requested. I've added F_CONTIGUOUS as an alias to
FORTRAN and C_CONTIGUOUS as an alias to CONTIGUOUS. These are the names
that show up when you print the flags and you can use them whenever you
used the other names. The other names are still everywhere in the code,
but perhaps the existence of these aliases will help people understand
what is meant better.
Thanks, Travis. I really appreciate your willingness to make such modifications.
