+1. I implemented my own zip (because exceptions[1]) and it's so easy to
accidentally have length-related bugs everywhere because your tests are
just stopping short with no error.

Here's something that would have saved me some debugging yesterday:

I suggest that `strict=True` would ensure that all the iterables have
been exhausted, raising an exception otherwise.
This is useful in cases where you're assuming that the iterables all
have the same lengths. When your assumption is wrong, you currently
just get a shorter result, and it could take you a while to figure out
why it's happening.
What do you think?
