Joseph,
Just an FYI, I asked Balaji to do his best to break things down into
more managable hunks of code to make review easier. In cases where we
need a later patch (testcodes, docs, etc) we'll deal with the dependencies.
WRT doc standards precision -- agreed. One of the major problems with
the early language extensions was the lack of precision in their
documentation. I don't think this is going to be a big problem for
Cilk+, but only time will tell.
