Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] fortran: combine subarray and string computation

From: Christoph Weinmann <christoph.t.weinmann@intel.com>

Strings only have one dimension, but the element computation is
identical to the subarray computation for ranges and indices.

2013-11-26  Christoph Weinmann  <christoph.t.weinmann@intel.com>

	* eval.c (evaluate_subexp_standard): Call
	value_f90_subarray for print expressions on array and
	string types.
