hm - generatefortranstubs is not useful for the custom stubs.

>From them - I would:
- in the first pass - remove all 'use' statements
- iterate:
  * run a build
  * add 'import' for  types that give build errors

But I think its best to do this after the 2 MRs that change fortran interfaces are (reviewed/)merged in.

Sure - its would be better to automate the search for t<Type>
declarations in PETSc. bfort reads in lib/petsc/conf/bfort-petsc.txt -
so perhaps generatefortranstubs can also use this data..

If the original module that contains the PetscRandom is in a different file then I don't see how the compiler can find and import PetscRandom. Is there a version of import where you also list the module (file) that the beast is from so the compiler can get it from that module?

This is unnecessary when the module already has the same USE statement in the module scope. Instead, users can use IMPORT statement to make the module symbols accessible inside interface face blocks.

Replacing those USE statements with IMPORT statements also shortens the compile time significantly.
