If the input sequences are not of equal length, :func:`map` will
stop at the termination of the shortest of the sequences. For full
compatibility with `map` from Python 2.x, also wrap the sequences in
:func:`itertools.zip_longest`, e.g. ``map(func, *sequences)`` becomes
``list(map(func, itertools.zip_longest(*sequences)))``.

it works with values of arbitrary size. The latter no longer
exists.
