F90 has allocatable arrays which SHOULD make #1 relatively easy.

F90 can handle "generic" variables ONLY AS PROCEDURE ARGUMENTS: you
can write a "user-defined generic procedure" in a module with a
separate specific procedure for each argument type: see "Programmer's
Guide to F90", second edition, p. 241 -- OR -- my "Fortran 90", p. 438
-- OR -- Ellis etal "F90 Programming", p.370.
