zip stops when it reaches the end of the shorter list, so you can just say

In fact, most programmers use the infix version of zip, like this:
[1..] `zip` lines
which is nicely readable. (any function can be turned into an infix by surrounding it in `backticks`).
And I thought that most programmers used "zipWith", which has to be prefix. Proving that I so rarely want lists of pairs, -Jan-Willem Maessen
