Description

### Describe the feature request

Hi, wondering if there could be any consideration for supporting a Fortran wrapper API? if such initiative would be of interest maybe one way to kick-start it would be by looking at tools such as: https://github.com/LLNL/shroud

### Describe scenario use case

Many HPC applications/engineering software run on large code bases written in Fortran. It would be very convenient to enable calling onnx directly within the language.

This would be very welcome by the Fortran community of developers.

Thanks
