progressify: Progress Reporting of Common Functions via One Magic Function

The progressify() function rewrites (transpiles) calls to sequential and parallel map-reduce functions such as base::lapply(), purrr::map(), foreach::foreach(), and plyr::llply() to signal progress updates. By combining this function with R's native pipe operator, you have a straightforward way to report progress on iterative computations with minimal refactoring, e.g. 'lapply(x, fcn) |> progressify()' and 'purrr::map(x, fcn) |> progressify()'. It is compatible with the parallel-processing map-reduce packages 'future.apply', 'furrr', 'crossmap', 'foreach', 'doFuture', and 'futurize'. It also supports domain-specific packages including 'boot', 'fwb', 'lme4', 'partykit', 'sandwich', and 'SimDesign', e.g. 'boot::boot(data, stat, R) |> progressify()'.
