collapse on target simd: translation failure
Legality: independently confirmed. 2 independent readings find the program legal and the result required. How this is checked
nvfortran -mp=gpu appears to behave incorrectly on a combined target simd construct with a collapse clause: the compile stops with "Compiler failed to translate accelerator region: Missing branch target block". The same loop nest as target containing simd collapse(2), as target simd without collapse, or as target teams distribute simd collapse(2), compiles and runs correctly.

"behaves incorrectly" / "not supported": this issue, confirmed in up to four environments (another build directory, another node, a repeat). "fails another way": a different failure, not counted as this issue. "unknown": not run there, or the runs disagree.
