! (ifort version 15.0.0 or earier)
! I think it is a bad idea to extend the grammer of the arithmetic expression
! in Fortran langurage as the followings.
! Such functionality might look convenient at first, however it would enhance
!possibilities to make the compiler to silently ignore possible human-errors
! such as mis-types especially in lengthy expressions.
ifort accepts the source code below without errors nor warnings.
