zip(...) public

Converts any arguments to arrays, then merges elements of enum with corresponding elements from each argument. This generates a sequence of enum#size n-element arrays, where n is one more that the count of arguments. If the size of any argument is less than enum#size, nil values are supplied. If a block given, it is invoked for each output array, otherwise an array of arrays is returned.

a = [ 4, 5, 6 ]
b = [ 7, 8, 9 ]

(1..3).zip(a, b)      #=> [[1, 4, 7], [2, 5, 8], [3, 6, 9]]
"cat\ndog".zip([1])   #=> [["cat\n", 1], ["dog", nil]]
(1..3).zip            #=> [[1], [2], [3]]
