I know that, I was expecting it to work with multiple ranges if the functor takes multiple arguments. > If you're trying to create an associative array from two arrays A *lazy* range of associative arrays.

My custom range implementation shows exactly what I was trying to use map for. It only seems natural to me to have this ability, but maybe map!() can't be customized for this use. Anyway I'm satisfied with my approach unless you can make map!() do the same thing with some zip tricks or something.
