That PR fixed an ICE on invalid code - and ensured gfortran diagnoses code like: real :: e(3) data e / 3*1 / data e(2) / 2 / where "e"'s second element is multiple times initialized (which is not diagnosed with -std=gnu, only with -std=f2008 - with gnu/legacy and with ifort, the second initialization is plainly ignored). Thus, in some way, the repeat count must come back. One possibility is to handle the special case /<array_size>*<value>/, which is equivalent to a scalar initialization. I think that should cover the most common case.
