I was talking about things like array statements, assumed-shape arrays, array
pointers, allocatables, etc. Just ensuring that no temporary arrays are
generated needlessly, for example, takes a certain sophistication. The
backend is as Dan said commong to all languages, but the role of the syntax
and how it is parsed to intermediate representations should not be
underestimated.
