Can you check this does not bypasses copy-out for the following case where the base has INTENT(in) but what is passed is the target of a pointer component:
```
module m
type t
integer, pointer :: i(:)
end type
end module
subroutine test_actual_arg_intent_in(x)
use m, only : t
type(t) , intent(in) :: x
x%i(1) = 42
call bar(x%i(:))
end subroutine
```
I am not 100% sure what is the standard requirement for these cases, but all the compilers I tested are OK with `x%i(1) = 42` while they complain on `x%j` where j is a simple components, so I assume it may be legal to modify such data.
