When creating 07-007r3, the editor rejected the following edit from
paper 07-240:

----------
[244:3-4]
Editor: Combine C932 and C933:

C932 (R915) A variable that is an <input-item> shall not be a whole
     assumed-size array or a procedure pointer.
----------

with the objection documented in 07-283:

-----------
[244:3-4] REJECTED.  C933 is broken - a variable is a data object, a
          procedure pointer is a procedure.  Added UTI 132.
-----------

(Becasue of an oversight, UTI 132 does not actually appear in
07-007r3.)  Proposed fix is to leave C932 as is, and fix
C933. Alternatively, an edit is supplied to repair the change
suggested in 07-240. I assume C933 was added when we allowed
"variable" to be a function reference with a pointer result, and we
did not want to allow this expansion in the context of the list in a
READ statement.  If we intended to allow this, then C933 should just
be deleted.


Edit to J3/07-007r3:

Alternative 1 (Fix C933):

[229:27] In 9.6.3 "Data transfer input/output list" replace constraint
C933 which reads "A variable that is an <input-item> shall not be a
procedure pointer." with:

"C933 (R915) A variable that is an <input-item> shall not be a
reference to a function."

------------------

Alternative 2 (Combine fixed C933 with C932):

[229:26-27] In 9.6.3 "Data transfer input/output list" combine the
first two constraints (C932 and 933) into one:

"C932 (R925) A variable that is an <input-item> shall not be a whole
assumed-size array or a reference to a function."

------------------

Alternative 3 (Delete C933):

[229:27] In 9.6.3 "Data transfer input/output list" delete constraint
C933 which reads "A variable that is an <input-item> shall not be a
procedure pointer."
