| Scope of any mapping directives is a single (sub)program unit |
| A template or distribution is not a first-class Fortran 90 object: |
| It cannot be passed as a subprogram argument and this creates significant complication! |

| One can use array query intrinsics to find out what is going on but of course compiler does this implicitly |
