Oh yeah. I've done that too. For whatever reason, I think I used to use the extra range, and nowadays I'm more likely to use islice(). I have absolutely no argument why one style or the other is better, just my habit has changed. In any case, I'm not advocating for truncate=5 behavior. Merely agreeing that the word truncate is not less ambiguous than the word strict. That's not even saying I prefer strict to truncate; itertools.zip_strict() remains my preference. But I could learn either parameter choice easily enough.
