If a chain saw just removed a leg above the knee (gun shot to the foot
does not seems to be your complaint level!) you could always try
to set the default options for your copy of your compiler to use the
"assume implicit none" option that all respectable compilers offer.
(I know - you also need to get the rest of your troops to do likewise.)

I use a preprocessor that issues a wry message about the absent
implicit none so I am in your camp but this is the real world.
It ain't very likely even if it is very sensible.


But it doesn't even effect anybody in any significant negative way, just add a compiler switch on compilation, get the old behavior (if they must)...
