Really modern and useful features would be to have strong typing and
have simple visibility rules in addition to "modernist" formalism.
Are these really in F90/95 ? It would mean to sacrify some compatibility
with F77. Frankly at some point it becomes fruitless to relift an old
language by borrowing features from others and try to glue them.

For the F77 subset I agree, for the F90+ I don't...
A question of taste surely...
