For compatibility, GNU Fortran supports legacy PARAMETER statements without parentheses with -std=legacy. A warning is emitted if used with -std=gnu, and an error is acknowledged with a real Fortran standard flag (-std=f95, etc...). These statements take the following form:
implicit real (E) parameter e = 2.718282 real c parameter c = 3.0e8
