I am not sure why they put the restriction in. But note that one *can* use
null() in a structure constructor for the allocatable component. So the
following is legal:
type xyzzy
integer, allocatable :: x(:)
real :: y
end type
type(xyzzy) :: plugh = xyzzy (null (), 123.456)
See 7.1.7(3) in F2003 (and 7.1.12(3) in the F2008 draft.)
