FYI, I didn't add this in the other issue despite wanting it because of
what hvd and gabravier mentioned. The option does not seem to behave
reasonably in current implementations and IMO shouldn't be included because
of that. This description is misleading because the current behavior is to
maximize the number of processes without regard to runtime or anything else
which can lead to hundreds of processes that slow down the entire OS. A
user who is simply looking for a "parallelize this" flag can use
`-P$(getconf NPROCESSORS_ONLN)`.
