care to explain?

"In parallel" here referred to the sequential order defined for Scheme,
which would mean that f(x++,x++) will pass two consecutive values
(in any order), right?
Having no sequence point between argument evaluation in C means
that f could get twice the same value, right?
And other side effects like reading from a volatile special
memory location could even cause actual overlapping execution,
couldn't they?
Anyway, having "some" sequential order is probably of rather limited value.
