Minor note the examples Robert quotes for Ada can all be done in Fortran
90 without FORALL but with a slightly different syntax than required by
ADA. DIfferences are that Fortran allows the triplet notation for index
vectors, first value:maximumu value:increment, its array constructor
uses (/.../) rather than (...), implied DO can be used for array
construction, and it doesn't have an array concatonation operator (I
assume that is the meaning of & in Ada).
