There was no consensus on addition for C11 (see N1451/N1457, and the
Boulder minutes N1542). There is no current revision process for a new C
standard version in which new features could be considered. But I would
guess that to the extent such features are relevant for parallelism they
might be considered in the CPLEX group.
