Multiple Simultaneous Researches

[Thomasnotused]

I've seen a lot of cool mods (like bob's mods) that add new types of labs and their own production chains for the science, but I'm always bothered by the fact that you can only utilize one chain at a time.
For example, if you want to research a new level of modules, normal R/G/B science shuts down, and vice versa.
I thought it would be neat if you could have a (configurable) number of researches going on at once, like researching modules AND upgrading your bots' cargo, or something like that.
Even if the extra research slots have to be researched, I think it would be pretty neat to have. I want to be able to strain my factory by doing all the SCIENCE!
