[Bug fortran/36361] attribute declaration outside of INTERFACE body

[janus at gcc dot gnu dot org]

A related problem also occurs with the POINTER attribute:

interface
  real function bar()
  end function bar
end interface

pointer :: bar

Here I'm not really sure if it is forbidden, because one could interpret this
as a procedure pointer. g95 gives the same error message as with DIMENSION (see
above).

Assuming it is not forbidden, one would still have to distinguish it from:

interface
  function bar()
    real, pointer :: bar
  end function bar
end interface

This code clearly is valid (declaring a pointer-valued function).
