Instead of an essay, this could be a guide for Haskellers/MLers/
Whatever-ers, which would make it easy to get results into documentation
searches, and that would make it easy to address issues that cannot be
resolved with a new binding like the bad argument order in `take` or the
different input function for the folds.
(Another point for avoiding a `zip` binding is that it's much more
likely to collide with user defined functions than it is in other
languages.)
