Descripción
Searching through the source for `DistributedArray`, it seems I'm supposed to use `map` instead of `pmap` on a `DArray`. Indeed, when I try to use `pmap`, strange things happen:
```

(Sorry for how long that was!)
Yet intuitively, I would have expected `pmap` to work like `map` does on a distributed array. I'm fine with my intuition being wrong here, but should there be a note in the documentation to use `map`, and not `pmap`? What is the expected behaviour of `pmap` on a `DArray`?
Guía de contribución

Línea de trabajo
Start by reproducing the issue's `drand`, `map`, and `pmap` examples, then search the repository for `DArray`, `map`, and `pmap` documentation or entry points. Determine the expected behavior of `pmap` on a `DArray` and document the distinction from `map`, including a concise example or limitation if supported by the existing behavior.
