An issue I have with zip taking a symbol is that ary1.zip(ary2, :+)
doesn't actually return a zipped array (of arrays). In that respect,
the result and the name "zip" don't align, with the additional
argument.

Is there such a need for this in core that we need a shortcut around
ary1.zip(ary2).map { |a, b| a + b }?
