Providing a :fillin() adverb on C<zip> is a suboptimal solution,
because it implies that you would always want to fill in *any* gap

much less likely in a multiway zip.
I actually have no problem with the solution you suggest (although I
rather like my idea about being able to 'fill in' with a control
exception), but I do have a question. If you want a multiway zip
with differing fillins, can't you do this?
@foo = 1..10 ¥:fill(0) 'a'..c' ¥:fill('x') ¥ 1..50;
Assuming, of course, that it is possible to stick an adverb on the op
as I was requesting.
