The problem

This was a reference by @ugexe in the IRC log: https://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/perl6?date=2019-05-10#l589

this description of hyperoperators is incorrect, yes?

Suggestions

In commit f5c079d that phrase was changed to parallelism. There are, however, many other mentions to auto-threading, including the glossary. A correct definition of the functionality could be needed also elsewhere (including Junctions). So a revision and clarification (were needed) could be a good thing.

Perhaps the term "auto-parallelizing" would be better? The fact that parallelizing is achieved by using threads, should be lost on the user.
