Consider the following case:
```fortran
module m2
  interface
    module subroutine sub()
    end subroutine
  end interface
end module

submodule (m2) s2
contains
  integer function sub()
    sub = 2
  end function
end submodule
```
Here the interface declares `sub` as subroutine, but `sub` in a submodule is a function.

Compiling it results in the following message:
```
$ flang -fsyntax-only -pedantic ex-kind.f90
ex-kind.f90:10:20: portability: Subprogram 'sub' in this submodule is missing the MODULE prefix to implement the module procedure interface from its parent; did you mean 'MODULE FUNCTION'? [-Wportability]
```
This is not bad, but if user follows instructions and changes it to `module function`, it still cannot implement subroutine's interface. I'm wondering if we change the check to `subpFlag == hostSubp->isFunction() ? "FUNCTION" : "SUBROUTINE"`, maybe this error message would be more faithful to the reality.

This is not a blocking issue, just putting it out for your consideration.
