 * BOZ literals can be used as INTEGER values in contexts where the type is
   unambiguous: the right hand sides of assigments and initializations
-  of INTEGER entities, and as actual arguments to a few intrinsic functions
-  (ACHAR, BTEST, CHAR).  BOZ literals are interpreted as default INTEGER
+  of INTEGER entities, as actual arguments to a few intrinsic functions
+  (ACHAR, BTEST, CHAR), and as actual arguments of references to
+  procedures with explicit interfaces whose corresponding dummy
+  argument has a numeric type to which the BOZ literal may be
+  converted.  BOZ literals are interpreted as default INTEGER only
   when they appear as the first items of array constructors with no
   explicit type.  Otherwise, they generally cannot be used if the type would
   not be known (e.g., `IAND(X'1',X'2')`).
