Takes an async iterator that emits promise-returning functions, invokes them in parallel and emits the results in the same order as the input.

The final batch may be smaller than the batch size.

## Example

```javascript
import parallelBatch from 'it-parallel-batch'
import all from 'it-all'
import delay from 'delay'

// This can also be an iterator, async iterator, generator, etc
const input = [
  async () => {
    await delay(500)

    return 1
  },
  async () => {
    await delay(200)

    return 2
  },
  async () => {
    await delay(100)

    return 3
  }
]

const batchSize = 2

const result = await all(parallelBatch(input, batchSize))

console.info(result) // [1, 2, 3]
```

# Install

```console
$ npm i it-parallel-batch
```
