Ah. yes, I was missing the small print on the SIZE description,

[that dim must not be an optional dummy argument]

The reason for that small print is that having dim changes the rank of
the result. F90/95/2003 is designed so that the rank of everything is
known at compile time. The presence of an optional dummy argument is not
in general known until run time (and may vary from call to call).
