This function returns a list of tuples, where the \var{i}-th tuple contains
- the \var{i}-th element from each of the argument sequences.

The returned list is truncated in length to the length of
- the shortest argument sequence. When there are multiple argument

+ the shortest argument sequence. When there are multiple arguments
+ which are all of the same length, \function{zip()} is
similar to \function{map()} with an initial argument of \code{None}.
With a single sequence argument, it returns a list of 1-tuples.
With no arguments, it returns an empty list.
