See [1] for what Haskell has to offer. Our "pack" is similar to Haskell's "zip" (except zip drops items from the longest list). But there are a number of other components we could provide as well, and adding just pack at this point seems somewhat arbitrary to me. So I don't have a strong objection to adding "pack", but would rather leave it out for now, and add this to our virtual list of things to keep in mind for V.2.
