gfortran has support for a deferred type parameter. She unfortunately
also has some nasty bugs associated with deferred type parameters, and
if those bugs were trivial to fix then the bugs would have been fixed
by now.
Permit me to add that gfortran development is currently experiencing
a lack of volunteers to help fix her. Any particular bug is fixed
because (a) a developer is already working in that area of the compiler;
(b) the bug affects a developer's own project; (c) someone sends in
a patch; or (d) someone is willing to pay to have the bug fixed.
