I will take the liberty to interpret the standard words "any pointer 
associated with the dummy shall become associated with the actual" to apply 
to C pointers as well. Otherwise TYPE(C_PTR) is useless. Of course one can 
modify the object it points to through the pointer, in C. What else is there?
Maybe the standard is not super clear about it, but that's a different issue. 
I believe the intent has been that the C standard describes that, no need to 
repeat in the Fortran one.
Best,
