Accesses the elements of an index set from Fortran. The users should call `ISBlockRestoreIndicesF90()` after having looked at the indices. The user should NOT change the indices.
## Synopsis
```
ISBlockGetIndicesF90(IS x,{integer, pointer :: xx_v(:)},integer ierr)
```
Not Collective
## Input Parameter
- ***x -*** index set
## Output Parameters
- ***xx_v -*** the Fortran pointer to the array
- ***ierr -*** error code

PetscInt, pointer xx_v(:)
....
call ISBlockGetIndicesF90(x,xx_v,ierr)
a = xx_v(3)
call ISBlockRestoreIndicesF90(x,xx_v,ierr)
```
