I am ignorant in that regard. I only ever look at Fortran 90 code, I
rarely, if ever, need to look at Fortran 77 code (so I'm saved in that
regard).

I would rather see a complain about no matches. If someone could figure
out how to reject non-exact matches, that would be do the job.

It documents intrinsic functions and subroutines. It is by no means a
complete manual for the Fortran language though. It is no small wonder
that keywords are not documented. I have been looking for such a manual
to no avail.
