Intel Visual Fortran falis to compile implicit class statements such as:
implicit class(foo) (a-b) implicit class(*) (c)
gfortran had the same bug which was fixed in gfortran 4.9: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56500
Trying to compile the code from the gfortran bug report gives:

(trimmed)Is this a known bug?
This usage is relevant for people trying to simulate generic programming (templates) using a combination of implict, include and renaming in use statements.
