My feeling is that it would be a good idea to handle allocatable derived types
inside of the callee as well. I can see at least two advantages:
* It would avoid code duplication if the procedure is called several times.
* It would take some complexity out of gfc_conv_procedure_call, which is quite
a monster.
>From the technical side a treatment in the callee should be possible AFAICS. I
wonder why it is being done in the caller at all?
