What's the advantage of running a function that isn't marked as parallel
safe in a parallel worker because it's marked as immutable?
Seems like the only thing we're doing is making assumptions about what
the user meant when they've clearly told us something different and that
just strikes me as both a bad idea and an unnecessary complication of
the code.
Thanks!
