Re: J3/03-007R2 FCD, 3.3.1.3 29:11 and 3.3.2.3 30:6

A ";" shall not appear as the first nonblank character
on a line.

I think Fortran 90 allowed

    X = Y &
    ; P = Q

The F95 std has the same text.

To see what is really going on ;-), one consults the
F95 Handbook, where the phrase "unless it is a
continuation line" is appended.

If this is wrong, can we fix it as a comment on
a country vote?

Then let's fix this whole mess the "right way"(TM)
in the next version.
