Wouldn't "pragma Parallelize (Statement_Identifier);" be a more
reasonable way to do this?  As I understand the wish is to tell the
compiler that these statements are a likely target for parallel
execution.

The compilers are of course already allowed to parallelise the
execution of statements, but hinting where it is worthwhile to try
might be more efficient.  Such a pragma will of course introduce a
discussion of whether the result of the parallel execution should be
exactly the same as the result of the sequential execution, or if it
should just be approximately the same.  The effect on a loop will also
need some consideration.

Greetings,

Jacob
