Would it not be better to just use 1 function that returns the total
size of the array by default, and when supplied with an optional
argument (dim), returns the size of that dimension of the array (as
Fortran's "size")?

This wouldn't break existing scripts.

e.g.
$ cat test.f90
program test

  implicit none

  integer :: mat(10,5)

  print *, size(mat)          ! 50
  print *, size(mat,dim=1)    ! 10
  print *, size(mat,dim=2)    ! 5

end program test
