Nothing low-level about parallel loops. They're in fact a higher-level 
construct than an Ada task, since they're checked (by default) for safety 
problems and any tasking used is implicit. "Parallel" is mainly a hint to 
the compiler that parallelism can be used (there's almost no case today 
where a compiler could automatically use parallel code, as there would be a 
substantial risk of that code being slower than sequential code would be).
