In Clojure, I want to combine two lists to give a list of pairs,

> (zip '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6))  
((1 4) (2 5) (3 6))

In Haskell or Ruby the function is called zip. Implementing it is not difficult, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a function in Core or Contrib.

There is a zip namespace in Core, but it is described as providing access to the Zipper functional technique, which does not appear to be what I am after.

Is there an equivalent function for combining 2 or more lists, in this way, in Core?

If there is not, is it because there is an idiomatic approach that renders the function unneeded?
