Description

The makeClusterFunctions documentation for the store.jobs.collection flag says

If set to FALSE, the JobCollection is serialized to the file system before submitting the job.

But I assume exactly the opposite is the case, given e.g. https://github.com/mllg/batchtools/blob/4c2a476725452e742ed59b9a45457723cd398ab2/R/submitJobs.R#L278-L279 ?

Research direction

Read the makeClusterFunctions documentation and the referenced lines in R/submitJobs.R, especially around the store.jobs.collection flag. Verify whether the documented TRUE/FALSE behavior matches the implementation, then correct the flag description so the documentation accurately states when the JobCollection is serialized.
