Point (3) is pretty cool. I just used your module for my current

Another question: Why have you chosen the default number of work units
to be just two units per thread? In my experience, it's not uncommon
that calculations are harder on some parts of the range than others, and
then there is a risk of some cores running out of work to do. I'd think
that having more work units, 3-4 per thread, say, would allow for better
distribution of work between cores.

Good point. I should probably change this, as the more I think about it
the more I realize that I never use the default for the reason you
mention. It seemed like a good idea in iteration 1, and then I just
never reconsidered.
