Yeah, but that performance is probably linear (again, I'm shooting
from my hip here). So in the extreme cases, SyncEnumerable would
outperform #zip. And even before it takes the lead in execution speed,
it definitely has an advantage in memory, which I was more concerned
about. SizedQueue however seems to be a much better choice than
SyncEnumerable for those situations.
