One problem is that "StoppingPolicy.requireSameLength" is very long, so putting it in UFCS chains kills too much horizontal space.
Thanks for the bug reports. I'll have to read them all in depth to really appreciate them in depth.
I think you've convinced me to keep "shortest" as default, as consistency is king. It *would* help to have short aliases to promote simpler usage of each mode. Something like "zipShortest, zipLongest, zipSameLength". For example.
I like 8715, I'll see if I can make it happen. I'm just worried about having functions with 2 different default parameters. That said, proper template magic could allow you to write whatever you want and still work ^^.
Thinking about it harder, I'm wondering if it isn't possible to actually have a Zip!condition coexist with the run-time version. In which case, all I'd have to do is add the new version. I'll see what I can do.
If not, the other idea is to alias `lockstep(condition)` to return a `Zip`, and introduce a new and improved `lockstep`. This works because (AFAIK), there is no publicly available `Lockstep`.
But I'd rather keep the name `Zip` if at all possible. Time to start working!
