Definitely is has been discussed at least once, that I know, for I asked this myself, but from a somewhat more mathematical pov. You can find a copy of my mail here:

What I'm not yet sure about is whether this would be better as something resembling the zip() operator or a hyper-operator.
Definitely it's somthing different from zip() as the latter is more the computational incarnation of the mathematical (category theoretical) concept of a coproduct, whereas the "missing" operator would be that of a product.
