PEP-618 https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0618 discussions are still on going. This issue is being filed to track an implementation, assuming the PEP is accepted and one is decided upon.

I'm filing it now, as I can at least use the issue for documentation enhancements of the existing zip() behavior.
