* `BYTE` as synonym for `INTEGER(KIND=1)`; but not when spelled `TYPE(BYTE)`.
* When kind-param is used for REAL literals, allow a matching exponent letter
* Quad precision REAL literals with `Q`

* `X` prefix/suffix as synonym for `Z` on hexadecimal literals
* `B`, `O`, `Z`, and `X` accepted as suffixes as well as prefixes
* Support for using bare `L` in FORMAT statement
