I would like to change all places in the MPI-3 standard with character string dummy argument declarations such as,

CHARACTER*(*) KEY, VALUE

to

CHARACTER(len=*) :: KEY, VALUE

The len= part is maybe a little much. But I would certainly prefer character(*) over character*(*) and, similarly, character over character*1 and also character(8) over character*8 Cheers, Bill

Comments? Would we want to add a kind parameter too?
