      through Old French fr. (assumed) LL. solanus solitary, fr. L.

                  the latter, a disposition occasioned by recent injury.
                  Thus we are in a sullen mood, and in a sulky fit.

                           dreaded east is all the wind that blows. --Pope.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Skel-ML
  
      A parallel variant of {ML} using {skeleton}s being developed
      (April 1994) as part of Tore Bratvold's PhD in the Department
      of Computing and Electronic Engineering, Heriot-Watt
      University, Edinburgh, UK.   Programs are written in a subset
      of {Standard ML}, and parallelism is extracted from the use of
      certain {higher-order function}s.   The SkelML compiler uses
      profiling information together with skeleton performance
      models to distinguish useful from non-useful parallelism.   An
      important feature is the ability to perform transformations
      between skeletons to improve performance.   Skeletons currently
      supported are map, filter, fold, pipe (implicitly extracted
      from function application) and various combinations of these.
  
      See also {paraML}.
