Stepping back a little and looking at this code, sans header, let's consider the possible desired behaviors: - have an exact match-up between the two iterators, error otherwise - stop when one is exhausted - pad shorter one to longer one Two of those three possible options are going to require dealing with the StopIteration that shouldn't escape -- is the trade of keeping one option short and simple worth the pain caused by the error-at-a-distance bugs caused when a StopIteration does escape that shouldn't have? -- ~Ethan~
