I just made the following change on top.


Also, I noticed that you used British English for honour.  There are
now five uses of honor in gcc/fortran/* and five uses of honour.  In
gcc/doc, and in general, we use American English, and per

  https://gcc.gnu.org/codingconventions.html

we should use that.

I did not change this yet, to see whether there is any strong
opposition making things consistent.

To quote William Shakespeare:

"FALSTAFF
‘Tis not due yet; I would be loath to pay him before
his day. What need I be so forward with him that
calls not on me? Well, ’tis no matter; honour pricks
me on. Yea, but how if honour prick me off when I
come on? how then? Can honour set to a leg? no: or
an arm? no: or take away the grief of a wound? no.
Honour hath no skill in surgery, then? no. What is
honour? a word. What is in that word honour? what
is that honour? air. A trim reckoning! Who hath it?
he that died o’ Wednesday. Doth he feel it? no.
Doth he hear it? no. ‘Tis insensible, then. Yea,
to the dead. But will it not live with the living?
no. Why? detraction will not suffer it. Therefore
I’ll none of it. Honour is a mere scutcheon: and so
ends my catechism."


What can I say more :-) ?
