Description
Lots of the functions in this library are embarrassingly parallel. How should we parallelise them? Ideally with as little impact on the function bodies as possible. Image-chunk-iterators plus https://github.com/nikomatsakis/rayon?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the library's image-processing functions and the proposed image-chunk-iterators approach, then evaluate how Rayon could add parallelism with minimal impact on function bodies. Done should be a documented, agreed design for which functions to parallelise and how the API would support it.
