Is there any way to report errors from pure/elemental subroutines/functions
without passing along variables to hold error codes and error messages with
IVF and/or CVF? Something like the disallowed stop statement or some other
intrinsic that can write to std_out, std_err, or an external file from
within pure subroutine/function, perhaps?

Kind Regards,
