So I guess you are saying Nick that the folks who designed
Fortran 95 did not know what they were doing, and that the
parallel loop is a silly unnecessary construct :-)
I really think you should read through the old thread on
for all if it can still be found somewhere. There are a lot
of subtleties here that have occupied the minds and
research programs of a lot of top people in the compiler
field, and you really should read the literature in this
area before making pronouncements like the one above!
