In f95, can one declare a dummy argument that is a function whose
value is an array, without having to write an interface block for it?

No. If the dummy function uses any of the new stuff beyond f77
(e.g. assumed shape arrays, derived types, intent, array valued
functions, etc.), then you must write an interface block and it is
up to the programmer to ensure that the actual interface matches the
interface block. Some compilers can check at compile time that the
actual argument interface matches the dummy argument interface, but
others don't.
