No, it isn't.
It has a completely independent implementation, a different interface, lives in a separate namespace,
- both take an unknown number of iterables - both return tuples - both names start with `zip` - both stop at exhaustion - one as soon as possible - the other as late as possible - one has one extra parameter Those seem like very similar beasts to me.
and doesn't even reference zip in its documentation.
So update the docs. -- ~Ethan~
