I think most compilers only distinguish two fortran file extensions: .f or
.f90. .f denotes fixed-form source code while .f90 denotes free-form. Some
compilers also take the capitalized versions, .F and .F90, to indicate
source code that must be run through a preprocessor.
It is a little weird, but Fortran file extensions have nothing to do with
the year of the language standard the code is to be compiled against.

When calling a Fortran function for R, for each argument that appears in the
subroutine declaration:
subroutine subName(...arg list...)
You *must* provide a matching input to the .Fortran() call:
.Fortran("subName", ...arg list...)
In the case of arrays that are filled by the Fortran subroutine, just pass
an empty vector of the appropriate length- perhaps created using the
double() function.
