Another issue:

Allowing fork in functions would also allow threads to be spawned by
procedural continuous assignments, forces, and nonblocking assignments.

The first two definitely create subprocesses, and the last may or may
not be considered to, depending on how they were implemented.  But
since they are not listed by the LRM as creating threads, they don't
seem to be part of the thread hierarchy.  So if they were allowed to
create sub-threads of their own, the relationship of those threads to
the hierarchy would be uncertain.
