Is there a good way to programmatically determine how many inputs some function can support?

  runs multiple inputs through a script/function in parallel using bash coprocs

I put together a shell function for parallelizing loops called forkrun. Instead of forking off individual processes it initially forks off N coprocs (for N worker threads) and then pipes data to them. Its usage is much the same as using parallel or xargs -P, though with fewer bells and whistles (it has flags that support changing the number of parallel worker threads and producing output that is ordered the same as the inputs).

  a shell resolver? :) (find and resolve shell script dependencies)

(I'd love to have this ability for https://github.com/abathur/resholve to reliably identify arguments to one command that are also external commands/programs that it will in turn exec. I can't imagine trying to start it until/unless I have any bright ideas about how that executable spec and a parser for it would work.)
