What is your implementation with with:collection: ?

I know this function from python, they�� call it "zip"

we could implement this in SequenceableCollection

SequenceableCollection>>zip: aCollection
������ | index |
������ index := 0.
������ self size > aCollection size ifTrue:[ ^ aCollection zip: self].
������ ^ self class new: (aCollection size + self size) streamContents: [:stream |
������ ������ ������ aCollection
������ ������ ������ ������ do: [:each | index:=index + 1. stream nextPut: each ]
������ ������ ������ ������ separatedBy: [(index > self size) ifFalse:[stream nextPut: (self at:index) ]]]

Another example, using a generator (I didn't used Generator before, but I like the
idea to create an endless stream from a string, with some fill value (empty string in this case)).

|gen|
gen := Generator on:[:g |�� '123' do:[:k | g yield: k asString ] . [true] whileTrue:[g yield:'']].
String streamContents:[:stream |
������ 'abcdefg' do:[:c | stream nextPut: c]
������ separatedBy:[ stream nextPutAll:gen next]]



I use those all the time (filling matrices etc).
It would be nice to have something like these:

'2' repeatJoin: 4�� ==> '2222'
2 repeatJoin: 4 ==> 2222
'2' repeat: 4 ==> #('2' '2' '2' '2')
2 repeat: 4 ==> #(2 2 2 2)

What do you think?
