Perhaps because Cray pointers aren't Fortran, but are an extension. In
particular, they are an extension that is not sup****ted by the compilers
I use. In fact, Cray pointers to procedures are sup****ted by very few
compilers. I suppose I should say "so-called Cray pointers to
procedures", insomuch as Cray compilers did not sup****t that particular
variant. There was a time when I think that the set of compilers
sup****ting Cray pointers to procedures had one element; I think it might
have more now, but it still certainly isn't something to use if very
concerned about ****tability.

I'm imagining that there is at least a chance that he meant exactly what
he said - that standard conformance and ****tability were factors he
considered.

I find myself not entirely sure whether this was intended as a humorous
dig at gfortran or whether the wrong thing got pasted into the message.
I do find it a bit amusing so I'm leaning in that direction.

I suppose that if the message was intended as humor, I might have missed
a simillar humorous intent in the earlier part of the message as well.
