Description
## What problem does this solve or what need does it fill?
Users cannot send multiple events (via `EventWriter`) in parallel, either between systems or within a single system when using `par_for_each` iteration.
## What solution would you like?
Change the access model of `EventWriter` to allow for multiple simultaneous append-only writes.
## What alternative(s) have you considered?
Write to events in sequence, slowly.
## Additional context
`Commands` uses a similar parallelization strategy to allow multiple systems to add new commands simultaneously.
The logic for the final ordering of these events should match the ordering of the commands, which is determined by
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the existing Commands parallelization strategy and the EventWriter access model, then trace how par_for_each systems currently append events. Clarify the intended final ordering, since the issue text ends mid-sentence. Done should allow simultaneous append-only EventWriter writes while preserving the ordering semantics used for commands.
