My impression is that nobody is paying attention to Fortran.

I am guessing you are using a value matching base, and succeeding?  If
so, I would be fine with you adding logic to match base.

I think matching base means a value of 5, not 5.5, because these
versions omit the point release number.   4.8.x is like 5.x, as I
understand it.
