feature: parallel Version of EarlyTerminatingScanner

[msteinbeck]

Is it possible to add a parallel version of the EarlyTerminatingScanner? This scanner could try to distribute the traversal of the root node to several threads (as many as the underlying machine provides).

What do you think?

I really like this idea. I've read somewhere that the code infrastructure at Google does parallel analysis and transformation, even across multiple machines using map-reduce.

An easy solution is to parallelize the scan of the element collections/map.
