Not so sure. For parallel computation, you'd probably want to have some
additional, though optional, configurability for things like work unit
size.
Sure. Those are not per call call though. std.algorithm offers a ton of
functions. The cleanest way to expose parallel equivalents is as
functions with identical signatures in a different module. It's very
much in the spirit of D.
We should take a look at Gnu parallel.
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/parallel_mode.html, which
does the same (and I think they made the right decision).
