/**
* Run several Functions (or composed chains of Functions) onto the same input and converges their results as arguments to another Function.
*
* A common example might be to take an Object that needs to be transformed in several different ways and then merged into one final Object.
* In that case you can supply a "merge" (or "assign") Function as the convergence Function, and then pass all your Object transforming Functions as additional arguments.
* When you're ready to receive the actual input Object it will be forked into all the transform Functions and their results will converge into the merge/assign Function you supplied first.
*
* @function
* @name converge
* @param {function} fn A Function to converge the results (from executing all the others) into
* @param {function} ...forkedFunctions Two or more Functions (should be at least two, otherwise you're using the wrong util; use compose instead) that will later receive the same input
* @returns {function} A wrapped Function that is ready to receive a value(s) and pass it (in parallel) into the other Functions, converging those results as _arguments_ to the first Function you supplied
