(actually, I really want double :)...
but if "d0" were inflicted on someone who wanted single, yes, by the
time "s" were assigned, the value would be truncated to single. The
only issue would be whether the processor somehow wasted time doing
some stuff in double precision along the way but I can't think of an
example. So maybe there's no compelling reason not to make "d0" the
default output format.
