Implement deferred character length using a descriptor array #15
In Fortran we implement CHARACTER scalar type using a C array of characters. That array, which is not considered a Fortran array, never used to have a descriptor. Now that LEN can be deferred, we
will represent this using a descriptor at that array.
Note that the change also introduces a couple of FIXMEs just to remind us that LEN=: is only valid in some cases.
This is only useful for
