+@subsection Arbitrary Concatenation
+@cindex concatenation
+@cindex CHARACTER*(*)
+@cindex run-time, dynamic allocation

+@code{g77} doesn't support arbitrary operands for concatenation
+in contexts where run-time allocation is required.
+For example:
+
+@smallexample
+SUBROUTINE X(A)
+CHARACTER*(*) A
+CALL FOO(A // 'suffix')
+@end smallexample

@node SELECT CASE on CHARACTER Type
@subsection @code{SELECT CASE} on @code{CHARACTER} Type
sprinkled throughout.
It is not worth repeating them here.

-Support arbitrary operands for concatenation, even in contexts where

Consider adding a @code{NUMERIC} type to designate typeless numeric constants,
named and unnamed.
Much of this should be done only after the redesign planned for
0.6 is complete.
