Alternative CLI API like in GNU parallel #3

ladon seems great. But considering how close it is to GNU parallel, perhaps it could provide a binary parallel that would try to replicate the GNU parallel syntax.

This would be a great selling point. Now it can be used as a platform-independent (assuming Node) parallel that can be used just like parallel can be used, without changing any syntax in scripts.

Would you consider that an acceptable idea?

I'd be okay with this assuming that supporting the parallel syntax isn't too difficult. I'd be interested to see just how much would need to change.
