With Fortran in a function, the array idex bounds can be obtained from 
function parameters.

This can be overcome by using dynamic arrays in Pascal.

We (i.e. my son)  once created a library with some matrix 
calculation/solving functions using dynamic arrays as vector and Matrix 
types.

This worked out very nicely, e.g. as Pivoting  results in very fast 
pointer operations that avoids moving the values around.
