I apologise, I had missed this piece of information. If UNSIGNED is not on track to becoming a feature in the next standard, is there really high value in implementing it in gfortran? Fortran as a language is moving from a past where it was a nightmare of incompatible extensions, into a more standard-based language. I personally think it is a good evolution. Big extensions (like Cray pointers) have shown in the past how hard they are to maintain in the long term: lots of dark corners that we never get fully right. Just some food for thought, maybe this has been discussed already, and I have missed it. Best, FX
