Local workers inherit the current package environment (i.e., active project,
[`LOAD_PATH`](@ref), and [`DEPOT_PATH`](@ref)) from the main process.

!!! warning
Note that workers do not run a `~/.julia/config/startup.jl` startup script, nor do they synchronize
their global state (such as command-line switches, global variables, new method definitions, and loaded modules) with any
of the other running processes.

**Keyword arguments**:
- `restrict::Bool`: if `true` (default) binding is restricted to `127.0.0.1`.
- `dir`, `exename`, `exeflags`, `env`, `topology`, `lazy`, `enable_threaded_blas`: same effect
