That is a pretty damning indictment of the state of parallelism in
programming languages :-(

It would be interesting to compare it with Ada, and such a comparison
could be a very useful background document for WG5.  I am pretty sure

please send me a draft version as soon as you have something useful.
I will contact Brian Wichmann.
