No, it couldn't, and I don't think anyone with real
practical experience in Fortran-90 would think otherwise.
There are always some things that are more convenient in
language X than in language Y. If you don't know them for
a particular X and Y, it probably just means you don't know
X and Y well enough :-)
However, the mere fact that you can display such examples
does not say anything about the general usability of X and
Y for any particular domain. Focussing on a few specific
constructs almost always gives a distorted view.

Certainly a GNAT.Fortran_90 package analogous to
GNAT.Spitbol would be useful, but, as in the case of
GNAT.Spitbol, it would NOT provide the same convenience
as the native language, syntax is not completely irrelevant
:-)
