abstract: The 'future' package provides a unifying parallelization framework for R
  that supports many parallel and distributed backends. The 'foreach' package provides
  a powerful API for iterating over an R expression in parallel. The 'doFuture' package
  brings the best of the two together. There are two alternative ways to use this
  package. The recommended approach is to use 'y <- foreach(...) %dofuture% ... ',
  which does not require using 'registerDoFuture()' and has many advantages over '%dopar%'.
  The alternative is the traditional 'foreach' approach by registering the 'foreach'
  adapter 'registerDoFuture()' and so that 'y <- foreach(...) %dopar% ... ' runs in
  parallelizes with the 'future' framework.
