Looking into parallelMap.R I might stay with the dirty way

n = 1000
parallelMap(function(rep.vec, ...) fn(...), rep.vec = rep(TRUE, n))

I don't know if a clean implementation is worth the effort.

• It's worth the effort? --> Tell me and keep it open
• The hack is fine and should be the base of parallelReplicate? --> Tell me and keep open
• otherwise --> close

Looks like it was not worth the effort :)
