    Make an iterator that computes the function using arguments from each of the
-   iterables.  If *function* is set to ``None``, then :func:`imap` returns the
-   arguments as a tuple.  Like :func:`map` but stops when the shortest iterable is
-   exhausted instead of filling in ``None`` for shorter iterables.  The reason for
-   the difference is that infinite iterator arguments are typically an error for
-   :func:`map` (because the output is fully evaluated) but represent a common and
-   useful way of supplying arguments to :func:`imap`. Equivalent to::
