Todo:

Critical Priority: Unfortunately, gfortran 12 and older versions do not properly support the parameterized derived types (PDTs).
As such, the example generic-real-kind PDT types could not be used here.
This creates significant complexities when using the examples of these modules,
because all real kinds in this module are set to the highest precision available.
The onus is then on the end user to write wrappers that convert the relevant components and function-returns to the desired real kinds.
In addition to being ugly, error-prone and verbose, this usage of the highest-precision real kind is also highly inefficient computationally.
Fortunately, once PDTs are supported in gfortran, the conversion of the example types of this module to PDTs is straightforward and non-breaking.
The migration to PDTs must be done as soon as gfortran supports for PDTs is complete.
Note that other compilers have full support of PDTs.
