How about a keyword-only argument called finish which is a callable to deal with the problem? When any sequence is exhausted, its position is filled with StopIteration, and then finish(result) is returned.
How about we resist the urge to complicate the snot out of a basic looping construct. Hypergeneralization is more of a sin than premature optimization. It is important that zip() be left as dirt simple as possible.
Added to PEP 3099.
