Re: overloaded cant be distinguished by return values?

Being more general (please correct me if I'm wrong...), this is an
example of the rule in Fortran that the RHS of any expression is
evaluated before the LHS is considered.

If I've understood it correctly, it is simply a case of a function
result not being a dummy argument, although in some respects it may
behave similar to one with intent(out). In particular, the function
result object is short lived in that it ceases being defined once the
assignment to the LHS at call is performed.
