Question

In Section 12.4.3 we described the semantics of a terminate arm on an Ada select statement: this arm may be selected if and only if all potential communication partners have terminated, or are likewise stuck in select statements with terminate arms. Occam and SR have no similar facility, though the original CSP proposal does. How would you implement terminate arms in Ada? Why do you suppose they were left out of Occam and SR?
