This crate provides the ability to spawn processes with a function similar

to `thread::spawn`.  Instead of closures it passes [`serde`](https://serde.rs/)

serializable objects.  The return value from the spawned closure also must be

serializable and can then be retrieved from the returned join handle.

If the spawned functiom causes a panic it will also be serialized across

the process boundaries.

## Example

Step 1: invoke `procspawn::init` at a point early in your program (somewhere at

the beginning of the main function).  Whatever happens before that point also

happens in your spawned functions.

```rust

procspawn::init();

```

Step 2: now you can start spawning functions:

```rust

let data = vec![1, 2, 3, 4];

let handle = procspawn::spawn(data, |data| {

    println!("Received data {:?}", &data);

    data.into_iter().sum::()

});

let result = handle.join().unwrap();

```
