─────ALLOCATABLE Attribute──────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Allows the dimensions of an array to be dynamically determined at
     run-time, not during compilation. ALLOCATABLE can appear in either
     a type declaration or a DIMENSION statement.
 
     Indicate an allocatable array by leaving colons in the declaration
     where you would ordinarily place dimensions. For instance, the
     following line declares a dynamic array with three dimensions:
 
     REAL*8 dynamic [ALLOCATABLE] (:, :, :)
 
     Restrictions: Cannot apply to formal arguments; cannot be used with
     NEAR; works only with arrays
