Hello. I have a following question: How come there's no such thing in 
Python like starmap but which unpacks dicts as kwargs for fuction?

For example I have a format string like "{param1}, {param2}" and want to 
get results passing list of dicts for it's .format().

Of course I can do that with genexpr or some lambda with map.

But can you clarify why starmap version of map fuction exists and 
doublestarmap doesn't?


Best Regards.
