-    What is Foon?
-    A Foon is another name for a Spork, which is a Fork plus a Spoon
-    this class is a wrapper around multiprocessing in Python
-    which deals with parallelism via Forks. 
-    there is no Spoon.
-
-    Two things we do differently over stock multiprocessing:
-       * intercept exceptions
-       * duplicate stdin per host to enable the process to ask questions about host key checking
-
-    That's it.  This class is specific to Ansible's runner forking and is not meant to be generic.
