Typically this would involve the processor inserting a hidden directive at the call site that suppresses all code motion and forces variables to memory.  Equivalent to the MPI standard mandating this for an implementation that claims to support MPI 3.0.

At the expense of appearing VILE, how would this work for an arbitrary,
user-written asynchronous routine?

This makes for a rather long list of names for the compiler to memorize.  :-)

And what's a name anyway?  We've had dummy arguments forever,
use renames for a long time, and now we have function pointers ...
