I cannot imagine why you were surprised about that. Did you already forget about the experience of dict union operators? :-)

Well, those were dictionary operators, not zip iterator constructors. ;)

Maybe you should chat with another core developer who *disagrees* with your view about such a flag?

I didn't seek out someone who shared my views, I was asking someone for their thoughts on the philosophical/design arguments. It just happened that their views seemed largely aligned with my own, at least in that area. Besides, what do you think I've been doing in these threads for the last two weeks? :)
