zip takes two lists and returns a list of
corresponding pairs.
zip is right-lazy:
>>> zip [] undefined
[]
>>> zip undefined []
*** Exception: Prelude.undefined
...
zip is capable of list fusion, but it is restricted to its
first list argument and its resulting list.
Examples
>>> zip [1, 2, 3] ['a', 'b', 'c']
[(1,'a'),(2,'b'),(3,'c')]
If one input list is shorter than the other, excess elements of the
longer list are discarded, even if one of the lists is infinite:
>>> zip [1] ['a', 'b']
[(1,'a')]
>>> zip [1, 2] ['a']
[(1,'a')]
>>> zip [] [1..]
[]
>>> zip [1..] []
[]
