Since Fortran's parallel loops are just loops with extra semantics about what
dependencies exist between iterations, wouldn't it be possible to do the same
thing in Ada with new loop pragmas? (eg: prama No_Loop_Carried_Dependencies
(Loop_Label);) Would such a scheme render the compiler non-conformant?
