+Takes one element from first array and merges corresponding elements from second array. This generates a sequence of n-element arrays, where n is one more than the count of arguments.

+*Example:*
+
+    zip(['1','2','3'],['4','5','6'])
+
+Would result in:
+
+    ["1", "4"], ["2", "5"], ["3", "6"]

+
+    a = arguments[0]
