--- Comment #3 from Jürgen Reuter <juergen.reuter at desy dot de> --- This seems to be a GNU extension. In fact, when compiling with -std=f2008 gfortran throws an error. So my guess is this a wanted extension for backwards compatibility with old programs, well not too old, as they must at least have modules. If that's the case (wanted extension) then that's probably a "worksforme" close case.
