Does TYE's Algorithm::Loops's mapcar() provide the basic functionality

Hm. This brings up another point, which may have been addressed . . .
The Python function and Ruby array method zip() both accept any number of
arrays to interleave:
>>> zip([1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9])
[(1, 4, 7), (2, 5, 8), (3, 6, 9)]

Is there a CPAN module which provides the functionality of ¥/zip() for
Perl5? I don't see anything obvious in the Bundle::Perl6 stuff. Not hard
to write, of course, just wondering if it's been done . . .
