Q Edit Descriptor

The Q edit descriptor in FORMATs isn't supported. (This is meant to get the number of characters remaining in an input record.) Supporting this requires a significant redesign or replacement of libg2c.

A workaround might be using internal I/O or the stream-based intrinsics. See FGetC Intrinsic (subroutine).
