No. At least nor for any definition of "standard" that involves acronyms
like ISO or ANSI. (We do have a thread participant who commonly uses a
"different" definition of "standard", so keep that in mind.)

The square brackets are standard array syntax in f2003, but the 1:6 is
not a standard form. I recall once wishing that a simple form like that
could be used for array constructors, but it can't. Implied DOs are much
more flexible, but alas, a bit "wordier" as a consequence.
