Clarify safety of calling Fortran libraries without BIND(C)

One should make sure that the way arguments are passed by reference are always consistent. At least for gfortran this seems to be the case. See

Subroutines eat pointers with references to data. Array types are specified uniquely via structs. Function return values of primitive types are by value, and as a pointer in more complicated types. Nowadays (post-g77 and f2c) C99 COMPLEX datatype is used.

Closing as stale/not planned. This old clarification question is no longer in my active queue.
