If only the Fortran standard can [**eliminate implicit mapping**](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/eliminate-implicit-mapping/1612), the `IMPLICIT NONE` would no longer be necessary for safe coding.

There will be no need to bring up the legacy of integer types with `I-N`, etc. and

**10+ seconds** can be better utilized in such a 100 second **“elevator pitch”** to tout the better features of Fortran. Alas …

Sigh 😧
