In progressr: An Inclusive, Unifying API for Progress Updates

Progress updates generated by progressr are formally R conditions of class progression that are signaled and handled by R's condition framework. Sometimes these progression conditions are not signaled, or transmitted, as expected. To troubleshoot such problems, we can use the built-in "debug" handler. For example,

> library(progressr)
> handlers("debug")
> handlers(global = TRUE)
> 
> y <- slow_sum(1:3)
