parallel()/zip() have an other advantage: it would be easy to extend to let
the loop continue until the longest of the items, with a keyword argument:
parallel((1, 2), (3, 4, 5), missing=None) # or extend, or some other name
would return
((1, 3), (2, 4), (None, 5))
By the way: -1 on the name zip() and -0 on the name parallel(), but +1 on the
concept.
