Run multiple morphs in parallel #218

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It'll be hard to parallelize a single morph, but when doing multiple at the same time, like with data-morph --start-shape panda --target-shape all we could run the all at the same time on multiple CPU cores.

Describe the solution you'd like data-morph --start-shape panda --target-shape all should be roughly as fast as data-morph --start-shape panda --target-shape

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Sounds like a great idea!

Easy to use a wrapper command like GNU parallel:

parallel data-morph \
     --start-shape music \
     --target-shape {} \
