Coincidentally, I was looking at a FORTRAN pr this morning.
I think the existing FORTRAN expression parser is lame and I would
not miss it.
I favor the side-by-side strategy. Keep the files as f95-x files.
Let the gdb people play with it side by side. If the new interface
dominates the old interface, we can remove the old f-x files.
If we think there will be a constituency for the old interface,
then we can release both.
The problem with merging is that it makes the code much less readable
and makes it harder to discard the old code.
My two cents,
Michael C
