Feature (PR welcome): Use functions for a job

[tmtron]

As I understood the docs the only way to define a job is to have a .js file.
Is it possible or planned in the future, that we can simply pass a function for each job?

Our use-case: we use ncc to compile our node app to a single javascript file, so we cannot have separate .js files for jobs

PR is welcome, but I strongly encourage you to write your jobs so they are independent and sandboxed.

I'm re-opening this in the hope that we can get a PR open soon for this!

Albeit this approach would not use workers, I think we may still want to have it supported out of the box.

@niftylettuce Has this changed? i.e. As I understand the docs#using-functions-for-jobs, the function will be executed in a separate worker thread, right?
