You’ll also have to write a lot of
extra code (with arrays of length-1 strings) in case you need to simulate most
of the character intrinsics, or to compare “strings”
lexicographically, etc.

[…] If you really don't
like character scalars with lengths > 1, then write all your programs using
arrays of character(1) elements. Of course, you'll miss out on the
varying length string features in f03.
