Subject: Editorial paper on simple procedures and ISO_FORTRAN_ENV
Date: 2026-October-21


1. Introduction

The statement saying that the procedures in the standard intrinsic module
ISO_FORTRAN_ENV are simple is misplaced and hard to find.

The procedures are COMPILER_OPTIONS and COMPILER_VERSION.
They should say that they are simple in the descriptions as well.


2. Edits to N2258:

[543:22-23] 17.10.1 General, in 17.10 Standard intrinsic modules, p2,
            Delete "The module procedures described in 17.10.2 are simple.".

[543:30] 17.10.2.1 General, in 17.10.2 The ISO_FORTRAN_ENV intrinsic module,
         p2, after "procedure names are generic and not specific."
         append "The procedures in the module are simple."

[544:17] 17.10.2.6 COMPILER_OPTIONS, p2 Class,
         Change "Transformational" to "Simple transformational".

[544:26] 17.10.2.7 COMPILER_VERSION, p2 Class,
         Change "Transformational" to "Simple transformational".
