I think in this case quoting the F2003 draft is best, since it is relatively clearly written: 18An actual argument that represents an element sequence and corresponds to a dummy argument that is 19an array is sequence associated with the dummy argument if the dummy argument is an explicit-shape 20or assumed-size array. The rank and shape of the actual argument need not agree with the rank and 21shape of the dummy argument, but the number of elements in the dummy argument shall not exceed 22the number of elements in the element sequence of the actual argument. If the dummy argument is 23assumed-size, the number of elements in the dummy argument is exactly the number of elements in the 24element sequence. Best, Aleks
