marx(workers, work)

Take an object mapping worker names to role capacity and an object mapping work names to a number of instances.

Return an object mapping worker names to objects mapping how many of each type of work each worker should perform.

If the workers don't have enough capacity to do the work, the extra work will appear in an '_overflow' key in the result.
