Subject: Response to UTI008
Date: 2026-May-26

Reference: 26-007r1

UTI 008 states:

    "Apparently, a procedure referenced within a templated procedure
    may have an implicit interface. Is this an oversight, or have I
    overlooked a constraint elsewhere? Or is it a deliberate design
    decision?"

In apparent reference to constraint:

    C1612 A procedure referenced within a template or any nested
          scope therein shall have an explicit interface.

While a templated procedure is a template, subgroup agrees it would
be easier to understand if this constraint was explicit about that.
The following edit is thus proposed.

[400:7] insert " or templated subprogram" after "template",
        such that the constraint now reads
        "A procedure referenced within a template or templated
        subprogram or any nested scope therein shall have an
        explicit interface."

Also please delete UTI 008.
