+By default the C<zip> function reads to the end of the shortest list, but a

+C<roundrobin> is very similar to L<zip|/type/List#routine_zip>.  The
+difference is that C<roundrobin> will not stop on lists that run out of
+elements but simply skip any undefined value:
+
+    my @a = 1;
+    my @b = 1..2;
+    my @c = 1..3;
+    for roundrobin(@a; @b; @c) -> $x { $x.say }
+
+will display the following values: C<1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3>
