+zipwith
+-------
+
+`zipwith` zips multiple lists and maps the given function over the result. It is equilavent to calling `zip`, followed by calling `map` on the result.
+
+In the following example, `zipwith` is used to add the contents of two lists together. The equilavent `map` and `zip` calls follow.
