(a) and (d) are certainly wrong IMHO.
Surely zip could get a modifier to vary the behavior as desired?
for @foo ¥ 0... :greedy -> $foo, $i { ... } # (b)
for @foo ¥ 0... :conservative -> $foo, $i { ... } # (c)
Didn't we go over this a while back?
Anyway, I agree that (c) is probably the sanest default behavior.
