/** @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_`”.
*
