I asked the user who reported this documentation omission what he's using the 
'n' argument for. His reply:

    "Yes I am using the n parameter, it is mainly to implement a subclass of 
Queue that supports "bulk" get and put operations. This enhances the 
performance of repeated get/put calls when the Queue is created using 
multiprocessing.Manager."
