Unfortunately, if you are assigned the job of maintaining others'
code, then doing an IMPLICIT NONE will break the current stuff...

I understand (2), but why (1)? There is a lady with whom I work who
insists on breaking up even the simplest procedure into many sub-procs
(this is FORTRAN). In combination with ridiculously long proc and variable
names, it makes it even harder to debug...

But then you know what they say: there are 2 things you can't criticize:
someone's religion, and their programming style...
