history - When were the idea of pairing two lists and the name "zip" zipped together? -
the thought of pairing elements of 2 (or more) lists operate on them must older innovation of lisp's mapcar:
(mapcar '+ '(2 3) '(5 6)) (7 9) the next steps idiom
(mapcar 'list b c d) and definition of function/macro set together, element wise, arbitrary number of lists.
when, in context of programming language, name zip first introduced denote such function?
