Use options style API, so that the common case is very simple:
but we can provide options elegantly:
Allows multithreaded computation with the WithWorkers() option. On M2 Pro scales well with a few workers, but isn't able to utilize all cores effectively:
We only reach 23GB/s (at 12x) instead of the lower bound of 33GB/s expected with 10 performance cores.
Adds {Max,Next}WriteSize to suggest the caller how big to choose their Write() calls.
