[Python-3000] have zip() raise exception for sequences of different lengths

[Jack Diederich]

No need to take it back, as a long time python-* list reader I only took
your  initial post as thinking out loud.

List readers can spot similar threads in the future by looking for these
three indicators:

1) Behavioral function arguments are discouraged and mostly on your say-so.

2) You didn't top post, so it wasn't a pronouncement.

3) Long time readers were sure enough of #1 and #2 that no one added a 
   "GOOD GOD NO" reply

top-posting-ly,

-Jack
