Research direction

Start by tracing how future.batchtools exposes SLURM cluster-function options and compare that path with batchtools' makeClusterFunctionsSlurm(..., array.jobs=T) entry point. Done means the array.jobs option can be passed through future.batchtools for SLURM systems, with the behavior verified by appropriate tests.

Description

feature request

I'm trying to use future.batchtools with a SLURM system that heavily suggests using array jobs: e.g. makeClusterFunctionsSlurm(...,array.jobs=T) but I can't seem to figure out how to pass that option via future.batchtools. Any ideas?
