To clarify I'm familiar with how Fortran handles generic programming and my frustration with it extends well beyond having to write interface blocks (although these are annoying too). I regard having several versions of functions handling e.g. different length floats as pretty tedious repetition - that in my experience can quickly turn into a maintenance nightmare. Maybe this is outside the scope of what an IDE could help with though. Could some kind of function templating be possible in future versions of Fortran?
