Missing warning for dummy argument with an explicit INTENT(OUT) being used before it is defined.

Consider the following simple code snippet.  Intel Fortran does give a warning if the procedure does not give a value to a dummy argument with an explicit INTENT(OUT) attribute.  However a warning if such a variable is used before being defined is missing; it'll be very helpful if the compiler can warn for this situation as well.

module m

   implicit none

contains

   subroutine foo(i)

      integer, intent(out) :: i

      print *, i

      return

   end subroutine foo

   subroutine bar(i)

      integer, intent(out)  :: i

      print *, i

      i = 1

      return

   end subroutine bar

end module m
