And Fortran95 too :-
  
   A scalar object of type default integer, default real, or default
   logical occupies one numeric storage unit. Defaul complex and
   default double precision real values occupy two consecutive numeric
   storage units.

I don't see this being removed from Fortran until both COMMON and
EQUIVALENCE are also removed...
