Very interesting. Thanks. But this brings up another question: Suppose
I
have a module like:

module this_mod
type this_struct
  ... define the structure without a sequence statement ...
end type
end moule

Now suppose I have a subroutine like:

subroutine sub1 (this_arg)
  use this_mod
  type (this_struct) this_arg
end subroutine

And I have a main program like

program main
  use this_mod
  type (this_struct) an_arg
  call sub1 (an_arg)
end program

Suppose now I compile this_mod and sub1 with Compiler1 and put sub1
in a library which I ship off to a friend along with the source code.
Suppose then that my friend compiles this_mod and main with Compiler2.
 Are you saying my friend cannot safely link them together since the
layout of the structure may not be the same? Even if my friend had the
compiled this_mod module he/she could not necessarily use it since (I
hear) that modules from one compiler may not be accepted by another.
