Description
🤔 Based on my first few seconds with `workerize` and `workerize-loader`:
In the situations where Workers aren't supported (IE9, Chrome w/ file:/// protocol, etc), the Worker construction fails and throws. This would force the user to try/catch the worker construction and then implement code to run in the main thread in that case (if necessary).
Rather that try/catching that and having to write that fall-back code, it could be handy if `workerize` could fail gracefully and just proxy through the original functions (wrapped in Promises to preserve the expected API).
Thoughts? I don't have a lot of experience with Workers / `workerize`, but it came to my mind so I thought I'd bring it up.
Edit: Forgot to mention that `workerize` and the loader look super cool so far, so great work! 👍
