Remark: The compilers, which accept the ('(a)') all reject
READ(*,*), a
because of the comma after "*)" (g95, NAG f95); the compiler accepting this
extension (ifort, sunf95, gfortran) all do not accept the valid
READ ('(a)'), a
Thus viewed from the Fortran standard it is easy: If there is a comma after the
"(...)" it must be a format/default-character-expression, otherwise a
io-control-spec-list. Unfortunately, with gfortran we don't have this luxury as
we do support the vendor extension with the comma after the
"(io-control-spec-list)".
