Yes, of course :-)

The first point to make is that the "new" terminology (by new I mean from
Fairfax meeting) is that each of the X's on each image is a "co-array". So
don't say "each image defines its local piece of co-array X". Instead, each
defines the whole of a co-array.

I already proposed (in private paper drafts) to change this to say "subobject
of the co-array", but for different reasons. Specifically, we do want to
allow image 1 to modify X[2](1) and image 2 to modify X[2](2) "concurrently".
A more realistic example would be each image working on a column of an array.
I think it is not clear from the way the words are written that this is OK.
Thanks,
Aleks
