Is there a Parallel version of map (which internally uses spawn) where we can control the number of procs used and timeout?
Something like
(parallel-map func seq max-procs timeout)
This is for utilizing multiple processors instead of the regular map which is sequential.

Thanks cormullion. This looks like a implementation of mapreduce before spawn was introduced in newlisp.
