Noting that this is orthogonal, if we want things tested on OSX, until
the threaded scheduler lands (which I think is soon), there is nothing
blocking a patch forcing multiprocessing to use `fork` on OSX, should
anyone need that enough to submit a patch for it.
I have a feeling that the multithreaded scheduler will happen sooner,
though :)
