COMPILER BUG: contiguous statement in interface

[DataScientist]

Is the following code non-compliant? or is it an ifort compiler bug?

program hello
    interface test
        function test_func(array)
            real :: array(:,:)
            contiguous :: array
        end function
    end interface
end program hello

Since the keyword contiguous is part of the interface of a routine (contiguity allows for further optimisation, IIUIC), I would say the program above is definitely conforming. gfortran accepts it as is. If I change the code to:

real, contiguous :: array(:,:)

Intel Fortran is happy too.

at was guess, that for confirming!
