I take it back about it working correctly with other nested empty sequences. I 
realize now that my example of that had a nested empty vector, not a sequence. 
Trying to reproduce that example with a nested empty sequence just confused me, 
because it turns out that (seq ()) = (seq []) = nil, and I'm not sure what that 
means... But this is all really a distraction from the case I care about, which 
is lists that contain (among other things) nested empty lists. For example, 
'(() 0). Here it seems to me that zip/next's behavior is clearly wrong and I'm 
not sure why or what to do about it.

Thanks,
