The Fortran standard only states whether something is valid or not - not
whether a compiler should issue a warning or not.
The idea is that having PRIVATE (making it inaccessible from outside the module
by direct means) and having a C binding (make it available out side) are in a
way opposite concepts - and thus possible unintended.
However, for an INTERFACE - as opposed to a module procedure - a warning indeed
does not make much sense.
