DESCRIPTION: This module tests the inquiry functions dealing with
element type and size, and element content.

SEMANTIC REQUIREMENTS:


SR1.   <Inquire current element type and size> returns the element
type and size of the structure element pointed to by the element
pointer.
#F 303
#D 7.3 4.2 4.3
#S 4.4.4/29/5
#T P02/1 P02/5 
SR2.   <Inquire current element type and size>  returns NIL as
the element type and 0 as the element size when the element
pointer is 0.
#F 303
#D 7.3 4.2 4.3
#S 4.4.4/29/5
#T P02/9 
SR3.   <Inquire current element content> returns the values of
the structure element data record associated with the structure
element pointed to by the element pointer.
#F 304
#D 7.3 4.2 4.3
#S 4.4.4/29/5
#T P02/2 P02/6 P02/10 #C The Fortran binding specifies that for the NIL element
(position 0), all array sizes are zero.
SR4.   <Inquire element type and size> returns the element type
and size for the specified element.
#F 305
#D 7.1 7.3
#S 4.4.6/30/4
#T P01/3 P02/3 P02/7 
SR5.   <Inquire element type and size> returns NIL as the element
type and 0 as the element size when the specified element position
is 0.
#F 305
#D 7.1 7.3
#S 4.4.6/30/4
#T P01/1 P02/11 
SR6.   <Inquire element content> returns the values of the
structure element data record associated with the specified
structure element.
#F 306
#D 7.1 7.3
#S 4.4.6/30/4
#T P01/2 P01/4 P02/4 P02/8 P02/12 #C The NIL element (position 0) is treated the same as for
<inquire current element content>.
