Lawrie's original example in his J3 paper on the proposal was more 
convincing and I am not sure if it would compile or not under Van's 
draft. Something like a dummy argument for a separate procedure declared 
with

REAL, DIMENSION(N) :: x

where N is a parameter in the module which is overwritten in the 
submodule with a different value. Which N is the dimension of X 
referring to? Although technically this may lead to different interfaces 
(does the exact dimension of a dummy array argument matter?), I doubt a 
compiler would catch that.
