Dear all,

in Fortran 2018 a few intrinsics were extended and now support
additional optional arguments.  See PR 85836 for the meta-bug,
and in particular:

96583 - get_environment_variable
96584 - get_command
96585 - get_command_argument

with an optional ERRMSG.

How are we going to deal with this?

If we do not want to break the existing ABI, so that we can
link gfortran-13 and gfortran-14+(?) compiled code, we need
to keep _gfortran_get_command_i4 & friends, and introduce
new library functions that are able to handle the new
requirements.

Do we have recommendations for a naming scheme?
Like _gfortran_F2018_get_command_i4
or _gfortran_get_command_F2018_i4, or better?

Would it be sufficient to update gfortran.map suitably?
Or do we need to bump something else?

And would that be fine, given that 14-development is in stage-3?
Or rather wait for the next stage-1?

Thanks,
Harald
