/** @file cilk.h
 *
 *  @brief Provides convenient aliases for the Cilk language keywords.
 *
 *  @details
 *  Since Cilk is a nonstandard extension to both C and C++, the Cilk
 *  language keywords all begin with “`_Cilk_`”, which guarantees that they
 *  will not conflict with user-defined identifiers in properly written 
 *  programs, so that “standard” C and C++ programs can safely be
 *  compiled a Cilk-enabled C or C++ compiler.
 *
 *  However, this means that the keywords _look_ like something grafted on to
 *  the base language. Therefore, you can include this header:
 *
 *      #include "cilk/cilk.h"
 *
 *  and then write the Cilk keywords with a “`cilk_`” prefix instead of
 *  “`_Cilk_`”.
 *
 *  @ingroup language
