[issue27873] multiprocessing.pool.Pool.map should take more than one iterable

[Jason Yu]

New submission from Jason Yu:

Hello all, 

The official doc describes `Pool.map(func, iterable[, chunksize])` as "A parallel equivalent of the map() built-in function.". 

Since the function signature of `map` is `map(function, iterable, ...)`, I hereby suggest that `Pool.map` should change its function signature to `Pool.map(function, iterable, ... [, chunksize])`. This will bring true equivalent to these functions. 

Tell me what you think. 

Pool.map: https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.pool.Pool.map 

map: https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#map 

Jason
