T4.

While this might be an apparent simplification, defining the semantic
constraints for efficiency would be even harder.

At a quick glance at N1930, that is where the problems are, anyway,
but I have not had time to read it properly.  Indeed, that has been the
problem of parallelism since the start of its formalisation - defining
syntax and intent is trivial, but defining appropriate constraints to
make it usable, implementable and reliable is extremely hard.
