Comment (by parcs):
Thanks for reviewing!
Thanks Simon. I will attempt to comment the changes more sufficiently,
following the mentioned coding style. I will update the user manual as
well.
Ryan: I don't see where a stray exception could occur. The call to
`parUpsweep_one` is already guarded by a `try`, and asynchronous
exceptions are masked throughout the rest of the worker body. And the rest
of the worker body doesn't seem to do anything that could throw an
exception from within.
So it seems to me that the exception handling is already fairly tight: a
worker thread should always exit gracefully. I think.
