For me, in fortran-mode the electric-indent-mode moves point
too fast too far ahead.  I find this beavior distracting in
fortran-mode.  (Yes, the fortran codes I work with do have a good
percentage of comment lines plus some continuation lines.)  That's
why I suggested that electric-indent-chars should be locally bound
to nil in fortran-mode.

If that's not acceptable to you as default behavior, I have right
now nothing else to suggest.  I guess I'll set up the local binding
in my .emacs.  Not a big deal.

We'll see whether anybody else might find the current behavior an
issue.
