The purpose of this package is to provide a lightweight and unified Future API for sequential and parallel processing of R expression via futures. The simplest way to evaluate an expression in parallel is to use `x %<-% { expression }` with `plan(multisession)`. This package implements sequential, multicore, multisession, and cluster futures. With these, R expressions can be evaluated on the local machine, in parallel a set of local machines, or distributed on a mix of local and remote machines. Extensions to this package implement additional backends for processing futures via compute cluster schedulers, etc. Because of its unified API, there is no need to modify any code in order switch from sequential on the local machine to, say, distributed processing on a remote compute cluster. Another strength of this package is that global variables and functions are automatically identified and exported as needed, making it straightforward to tweak existing code to make use of futures.

Dependency Anatomy Guide
Understanding Dependency Borders
Dependencies are visually distinguished by their border styles to help you understand their relationship to the current package:
Direct Dependencies
Thick solid border: These are dependencies directly specified in the package's DESCRIPTION file (Depends, Imports, Enhances, or LinkingTo).
Recursive Dependencies
Thin solid border: These are dependencies of dependencies (recursive/indirect dependencies). They are initially hidden but can be toggled with the switch button.
Version Constraint Conflicts
Thick border + Info icon: When both direct and recursive dependencies exist for the same package with different version constraints. This indicates the "true" version constraint for the package, as the recursive dependency requires the more strict version constraint.
Understanding the Info Icon
The yellow info circle appears when there are version constraint conflicts between direct and recursive dependencies for the same package. This helps give a more accurate picture of the version constraints for the dependencies of a given package.
