Bundle this module and you will obtain a stand-alone bundle that has its worker inlined. This is particularly useful for libraries using threads.js.

## Docker

When running in docker, you may frequently run into the error:

```
Error: Timeout: Did not receive an init message from worker after 10000ms. Make sure the worker calls expose().
```

Docker may need additional time to spawn the workers. There is two ways to do this:

* set the environment variable `THREADS_WORKER_INIT_TIMEOUT=x0000`
* provide `spawn` with `options.timeout` ex. `spawn(new Worker('worker.js'), { timeout: x0000 })`
