  I'm going to put in my two cents worth because
  I've thus far taken a very simplistic approach
  to iteration myself:

  Suppose one had several sequences that were of the
  same length. Then with the approach above, one
  could use <f> to access each of them.

  However, I believe that there are more 'elegant'
  and 'pythonesque' ways of iterating over multiple
  sequences, so I'm looking forward to more comments.

  I love this approach .... like to see this in
  other languages!
