abstract: The futurize() function turns sequential map-reduce functions such as base::lapply(),
  purrr::map(), 'foreach::foreach() %do% ... ' into concurrent alternatives, providing
  you with a simple, straightforward path to scalable parallel computing via the 'future'
  ecosystem <https://doi.org/10.32614/RJ-2021-048>. By combining this transpiler function
  with R's native pipe operator, you have a convenient way for speeding up iterative
  computations with minimal refactoring, e.g. 'lapply(xs, fcn) |> futurize()', 'purrr::map(xs,
  fcn) |> futurize()', and 'foreach::foreach(x = xs) %do% fcn(x) |> futurize()'. Other
  map-reduce packages that can be "futurized" are 'BiocParallel', 'plyr', 'crossmap',
  'pbapply' packages. There is also support for a growing set of domain-specific packages
  on CRAN (e.g. 'boot', 'caret', 'DiceKriging', 'ez', 'fgsea', 'fwb', 'gamlss', 'glmmTMB',
  'glmnet', 'kernelshap', 'lme4', 'metafor', 'mgcv', 'modelsummary', 'parameters',
  'partykit', 'pls', 'pvclust', 'riskRegression', 'rugarch', 'sandwich', 'seriation',
  'shapr', 'Sim.DiffProc', 'SimDesign', 'stars', 'strucchange', 'SuperLearner', 'tm',
  'TSP', and 'vegan') and on Bioconductor (e.g. 'DESeq2', 'GenomicAlignments', 'GSVA',
  'Rsamtools', 'scater', 'scuttle', 'SingleCellExperiment', and 'sva').
