No, YOU would not want it. I think it's far to early in the parallel
programming game to restrict our options by saying 'we don't want to do X
because...' - let someone try X and see if it works. I don't know if it's
possible to develop a reasonable language which will work well on a wide
variety of parallel architectures, but we're certainly not going to create
such a beast by making the language reflect a particular architecture!
