zip iterators asserting for equal length in python

An optional boolean keyword argument, strict, is introduced for the built-in zip function in PEP 618.

Quoting What’s New In Python 3.10:

The zip() function now has an optional strict flag, used to require that all the iterables have an equal length.

When enabled, a ValueError is raised if one of the arguments is exhausted before the others.

>>> list(zip('ab', range(3)))
[('a', 0), ('b', 1)]
>>> list(zip('ab', range(3), strict=True))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: zip() argument 2 is longer than argument 1
