Yes, we need to add text in Section 2.6.2, as Hubert also noted.

It would probably be a good idea to have additional text about these two F08 procedures, because it affects both users and implementors.

The question for the Fortran WG is: Is there a better solution than adding the _l functions for these two cases? If not, are you all OK with making an exception for these two cases and adding _l functions?
