The examples and code snippets for Fortran sometimes use "ierr" (e.g., Example 5.7, 5.10, 5.11) and sometimes "IERROR" (e.g., Example 5.8, code snippet on the bottom of page 209/167 and top of page 210/168) - it's always clear what it means, but inconsistent.
This came up during the review of MPI 4.1 RC in September 2023 and will most likely affect the whole standard.
Proposal
Consistent use of "ierr" or "IERROR" in Fortran examples
