Fortran compilers pass arguments in the opposite order compared to C
and C++. I believe this is a "standard" and if I recall correctly,
it's because C/C++ support variable argument lists ("varargs"), while
Fortran doesn't; C passes the list in reverse order so it's easy to
mark both ends of the lists. ("Layman's" description ;) )
