dble(3f) - [M_strings:TYPE] overloads DBLE(3f) so it can handle character arguments
  (LICENSE:PD)
impure elemental function dble(string)
 character(len=*) :: string
 integer          :: dble
dble(3f) returns a DOUBLE value when given a numeric representation of a
numeric value. This overloads the DBLE(3f) intrinsic so that CHARACTER
arguments assumed to represent a numeric value may be input.
   STRING  input string to be converted to a dble value
DBLE  double precision value represented by input string
Sample program:
  program demo_dble
  use M_strings, only: dble
  implicit none
  write(*,*)dble('100'),dble('20.4')
  write(*,*)'dble still works',dble(20),dble(20.4)
  write(*,*)'elemental',&
  & dble([character(len=23) :: '10','20.3','20.5','20.6'])
  end program demo_dble
