Very interesting stuff, especially in light of the fact that I was just
going over the Fortress spec the other day, and I've already spotted
one similarity:

atomic do
   ...
end

Yep, the Fortress syntax and the syntax Mentalguy came up with are
identical. Coincidence? I think not.

Will we be getting parallel for loops, too? ;)
