I've seen them - note that there are only 17,000-something TLA's.

OK, that explains a lot - I'm reading this in comp.sys.super, where it has a 
definite meaning.

Because I'm reading this in comp.sys.super, and that's a reasonable thing to 
ask for an implementation of <which-ever-language> on a super computer.

Whether it'll interfere with programmer coded parallellisation - well, that's 
up to the programmer.  If I want to code explicit parallellism, I know where 
to find OCCAM :-)
