With implicit I mean stuff like concurrent hyperoperators and junctions. Shared memory systems are explicitly concurrent to me because you have to ether explicitly lock or explicitly do a transaction. > It'd be a shame to not provide a way to both use threads directly or > to fallback to some implicitly concurrent constructs.
