Never used, reserved for fork/join primitives, eg:
do p1; p2; p3; done; // sequential
fork p1; p2; p3; join; // parallel
Windows doesn't have an os 'fork', it uses CreateProcess.
If you want to avoid the name 'fork' use 'posix_fork'.
Note that Cygwin can run BOTH Posix and Windows functions.
HOWEVER if you really want, 'fork' can be unkeyworded:
it can still be used as a 'special identifier' in the
grammar provided it doesn't look like an application
which it does in the above 'parallel' example.
