The following items are identified by WG5 as deficiencies and discrepancies in
Fortran 2008 to be addressed in Fortran 2015 development.  For detailed
information on each item see the referenced papers.

UK items (N1975):
  UK-02 (Specifiable default accessibility for USEd module's entities)
  UK-03 (RECL= for umlimited records)
  UK-04 subitem 1 only (allow E0.d, ES0.d, EN0.d edit descriptors)
  UK-05 (Improve generic disambiguation rules)
  UK-06 (Remove restriction on ERROR STOP)
  UK-08 (New reduction intrinsic REDUCE)
  UK-09 see US-14.
  UK-10 except subitems 2c and 3
        (Delete arithmetic IF, shared DO termination, and DO termination other
         than on CONTINUE and ENDDO;
         Obsolesce EQUIVALENCE, COMMON, label on block DO, specific intrinsics,
         FORALL.)

US items (J3/13-244r1):
  US-01 (Allow g0.d)
  US-03 (Require diagnosability of nonstandard intrinsic modules et al)
  US-04 (Control of host association), see J3/13-238.
  US-05 (Improve DIM= argument handling in intrinsics), see interp F08/0038.
  US-08 (Specify explicit specification of EXTERNAL attribute is required)
  US-12 (Allow SIZE= with advancing input)
  US-14 (Compatibility with ISO/IEC 60559:2010).

Items UK-01, UK-04 subitems 2 and 3, UK-07, UK-10 subitems 2c and 3, US-02,
US-06, US-07, US-09, US-10, US-11, US-13, US-15, US-16, and US-17, will not be
addressed in Fortran 2015, subject to WG5 review in 2014.
