I think adding the 1X to the FORMAT is the right thing to do long term. The DEC TYPE-as-a-synonym-for-PRINT-but-with-different-FORMAT-usage extension will not be familiar to the vast majority of Fortran programmers even if they used it decades ago. I used it a LOT back in the 80's and just barely remember it today.
Keep in mind that back in the old days, that in addition to the various filesystem options saying whether a file was Format carriage control or not, that there was also the ability for FORMAT statements to be dynamically changed on the fly by a READ. So while the source code might not have the 1X in front of it, that run-time the print FORMAT could have been modified by a previous READ statement. I did Fortran for decades and have only ever seen this used a few times in the real world. Possibly the compilers and RTL's back then offered varying support even in their heyday. Tim.
