So far, so good! Similar changes are needed for multiprocessing.Process (in file multiprocessing.rst), for its args argument.

@rhettinger, you closed your old PR on this without leaving a clue as to why. If you object to documenting this now, please say so.

OK, I am going to submit the relevant code on this PR (Previously, I plan to open a new PR for multiprocessing ).😉

For threads, and for multiprocessing, it's always been the case that ``args=list`` works fine when passed to ``Process()`` or ``Thread()``, and such code is common in the wild. But, according to the docs, only a tuple can be used. This brings the docs into synch with reality.

The added test leaks threads running in the background: I wrote #92885 to fix this issue.
