Thanks. I missed that one.
However, I think your point is pretty much the same as mine.
Certainly adding this to specialized syntax in signature matching is
an overfeature, so I tried to squish it down into options, which we
can add at will without really complexifying the core language. But
without options, like this, is even better.
Incidentally, the undef problem just vanishes here (being replaced by
another problem). Since zip takes the shorter of its argument lists,
you'll never even execute the case where $next is undef.
