It will be useful to distinguish between halting because a job
succeeded (e.g. a solution was found) or because there are no more
jobs (e.g. no solution was found). So I think these should give
different exit codes:
parallel --halt soon,success=1 exit ::: 0 1; echo $?
parallel --halt soon,success=1 exit ::: 1 1; echo $?
But I am less sure what the exit code should represent if there are no
successes. It could be the number of failing jobs or the exit code of
the first/last failing job if any. And what should then be the exit
code if no jobs were run? (e.g. parallel -r exit ::: '')

The same argument as above.
