Description: A system to increase the efficiency of dynamic
        web-scraping with 'RSelenium' by leveraging parallel
        processing. You provide a function wrapper for your 'RSelenium'
        scraping routine with a set of inputs, and 'parsel' runs it in
        several browser instances. Chunked input processing as well as
        error catching and logging ensures seamless execution and
        minimal data loss, even when unforeseen 'RSelenium' errors
        occur. You can additionally build safe scraping functions with
        minimal coding by utilizing constructor functions that act as
        wrappers around 'RSelenium' methods.
