Length-checking for the zip function

There’s a Python Morsels exercise called strict_zip.

It’s now become a “re-implement this already built-in functionality” exercise. Still useful for the sake of learning how zip is implemented, but no longer useful day-to-day code.

Why isn’t it useful ? Because zip now accepts a strict argument ! So if you’re working with iterables that might be different lengths but shouldn’t be, passing strict=True is now recommended when using zip.
