+xapply (Extended Apply) is an clever derivative of xargs and apply.
+Using list or tabular input from one or more descriptors, xapply executes
+a template command modified for each input.  It supports simple split
+on token expression, and has support (a la make -j) for running many
+jobs in parallel.
