If a compiler-maker really wanted to do it (yeah, right, with a gun to
their heads!) there's no reason why a compile-time switch couldn't
switch the order of subscripts in a Fortran array.  Of course, this
would break code that EQUIVALENCEd 2D arrays to 1D ones, but that's
a pretty  horrible thing to do, anyway.  It could even be regarded
as a different KIND by an F90 compiler.
