Maybe we need a short-circuit zip:
for @foos ¥¥ 1... -> $foo, $i { ... }
Or maybe that idiom should be written as:
for @foos.kv -> $i, $foo { ... }But that gets a bit shaky beyond the shortest case. For instance, there's no easy way to simulate:
for 1... ¥ @foos ¥ @bars {...}So I'll add a C<Bit +$shortest> to C<zip>, and leave it up to you to determine what the operator form of it should be, if any.
for zip :shortest 1...; @foos; @bars {...}-- Rod Adams
