Thanks, I did it this way.

No, ref_id is the last arg, so that won't work.

That is a little cleaner, but I decided to keep it as zip(). Why?
Because using n + 1 in the loop body will push that line past 80
columns. ;)

It's also the original code (albeit with a simple variable
rename).

I know this isn't the kernel, and that there are plenty of other
lines that are 80+ characters, but if you can keep it short, why
not?
