Hi Arjen: Are you proposing to do this fix for current Fortran binding? If so, I honestly don't think it is worth your time since (a) nobody has complained about some of these f77 characteristics of the current binding and (b) I assume that binding is soon going to be replaced with your new Fortran binding. I assume the fundamental design of your new Fortran binding will automatically check type correctness of all arguments so there is no chance of such an error occurring with it. Which reminds me, what is the status of your topic branch for your new Fortran binding? The reason I ask is the next opportunity (just after the forthcoming 5.11.1 will be released) to merge large topics to master is fast approaching, and my understanding is there is still some more work you have to do to mature that topic sufficiently so that it is suitable for merging with master.
