Research direction

Start by tracing the style_pkg() functions and the pre-commit hook behavior. Review related issue #320 for the caching context. Done means styling is parallelised to improve speed while parallelism is disabled for the pre-commit hook.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Complexity: High Priority: Medium Status: Postponed Type: Infrastructure

Functions like style_pkg() could be parallelised well, at least in principle - and speed up styling much.

For pre-commit hook, we should probably disable this.

Edit: a related issue is caching of results to the end of improving speed. See #320.
