Further overloading this overloaded utility name screws up packagers and hinders usage of any of the variants. Rename it please.

  Agreed. GNU Parallel does something similar and this is confusing. But this does claim to be a reimplementation of much of GNU Parallel's functionality. If it's compatible, maybe there isn't too much of an issue. In the interest of silly UNIXism, I hereby vote for the name "serial" instead. It's just like "more" and "less", right?

    I believe it intends to support a subset of GNU parallel and be command-line compatible with that subset. And "perpendicular" would be a far better joke name, IMO. :P
