You can also use zipWith to simulate zipN, for any N (however, the following
code uses infix notation):
Prelude> let l = words "Haskell is great"
Prelude> let zwApply = zipWith ($)
Prelude> repeat (,,) `zwApply` [1..] `zwApply` l `zwApply` map length l
[(1,"Haskell",7),(2,"is",2),(3,"great",5)]
Prelude> map (,,) l `zwApply` [1..] `zwApply` map length l
[("Haskell",1,7),("is",2,2),("great",3,5)]
I found it useful recently, when I needed zip functions for Trees - this way I
didn't have to define functions for 3 trees, 4 trees, and so on.
Best regards,
Tomasz
