x[["a"]][[1]] is equivalent to zip_n(x)[[1]][["a"]], in the same way z[a,b] is equivalent to t(z)[b, a].

That suggests there might be interesting generalisations of zip_n() that correspond to aperm() - i.e. maybe you want to switch the order of the 2nd and 3rd depths. What is the data frame equivalent of this operation? select()?

I think we can probably remove zip2() and zip3() as they don't seem that useful (since they're not symmetric)
