Mean example is too verbose

Thanks for the great points and I agree that the small example doesn't even do the idea of coretran any justice let alone newer aspects of Fortran. I've been meaning to update this for a while.

In my opinion, I would consider your use of the very succinct aspects of Fortran to be modern. Since i'm coming from a back ground of teaching modern Fortran to people who are not used to modern Fortran at all, I left the older styles in. This makes the example more accessible to people who get confused by implicit do loops on assignment and even vectorized notation.

Perhaps I should just take out the comparison of "old" and "coretran" code, and simply show some examples of using coretran like in the rest of the docs.

Also, just to comment on your three points above.

• I've had some weird memory issues when relying on automatic allocation and large codes. So I like to be explicit with allocation and deallocation.
• I once thought the same thing about letting clean up deallocate out-of-scope variables. Then I said the same thing at a class up at NCAR in Boulder. The response was "and you trust it?" So i've been explicit about deallocating memory ever since.
• I'm mainly explicit about conversions because I hate getting warnings when i'm compiling code under debug flags. Plus the more explicit you are the better....right?

Thanks for your feedback!
