I think this is sufficiently tricky to get right that it's worth
adding filter() as a parallel to the existing map() API.

However, it did raise a separate question for me: is it currently
possible to use Executor.map() and the as_completed() module level
function together? Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't look like
it, as map() hides the futures from the caller, so you only have
something to pass to as_completed() if you invoke submit() directly.

Cheers,
Nick.
