+Historically, legacy compilers allowed insertion of form feed characters ('\f',
+ASCII 0xC) at the beginning of lines for formatted output to line printers,
+though the Fortran standard does not mention this. GNU Fortran supports the
+interpretation of form feed characters in source as whitespace for
+compatibility.
