together – merges lists into synchronized list

Synopsis

• Creates a list with the iterated elements of the supplied lists

• To clarify with an example, [ ‘a’, ‘b’ ] and [ 1, 2 ] turn into [ (‘a’,1), (‘b’, 2) ]

• This is basically the same as the ‘zip_longest’ filter and Python function

• Any ‘unbalanced’ elements will be substituted with ‘None’
