Perhaps the best simple example is the FORALL statement to do a
reordering of elements

FORALL (I=1:N) X(J(I)) = X(I)

which in Ada would require the explicit creation of a temporary to hold
the value of X, assignment to the temporary, and then the assignment of
the temporary to X. Note it is required that the values of J(1:N) not
duplicate one another and lie within the dimensioned ranges of X.
