Description
### Feature request
when working with a really large dataset it would save us a lot of time (and compute resources) to use either with_transform or the set_transform from the Dataset class instead of waiting for the entire dataset to map
### Motivation
don't want to wait for a really long dataset to map, this would give IterableDataset an extra advantage over the Dataset class.
reducing time and resources
### Your contribution
I am a little busy with my job search lately, but would post about this feature in my social media.
Apologies again (dad going to kick me out soon), if I ever have some free time I will contribute to making this a reality, but that's going to be hard
