So how will *N notation select among different radixes,
even limiting the choice to what's available in hardware?

It won't, but neither does "DOUBLE PRECISION".

I read his post mostly as a request for "REAL*8" as
a synonym for "DOUBLE PRECISION", (not counting the
first sentence).

Also, not to remove the KIND mechanism but only legitimize
the practice used in much old code and some quickly written
new code. (For a simple test, the declaration might be
more than half the program!)
