[sv-bc] Confusion about the multidimensional open array in packed part of the formal argument of imported function.

Hi,

According to LRM P1800.2005, section 26.4.6.1

"Although the packed part of an array can have an arbitrary number of 
dimensions,
 in the case of open arrays only a single dimension is allowed for the 
packed part."

again in same section it says that

"This is not very restrictive, however, because any packed type is 
eventually equivalent
 to a one-dimensional packed array."

So this two statement are quite confusing about the use of 
multidimensional open array
in packed part of the formal argument of imported function.

Should multidimensional open array be allowed in packed part of the 
formal argument of
imported function.

Thanks,
Dhiraj
