[issue20208] Clarify some things in porting HOWTO

[Rodrigo Bernardo Pimentel]

Rodrigo Bernardo Pimentel added the comment:

I've created a patch that addresses the first criticism (explaining unicode_literals), as well as the first mention of print_function. It also addresses a small concern regarding "map", which I've mentioned in my G+ comment:

"""
Also, a friend was confused by http://docs.python.org/dev/howto/pyporting.html#update-map-for-imbalanced-input-sequences , until I understood that he didn't know map can take several sequences. I assume a lot of less experienced Python programmers only use map with a single sequence, and might be confused as well. A sentence mentioning that might help.
"""

I see that the current version of the doc on hg already addresses the 2to3 mention.
