docs: Zips elementwise pairs between items1 and items2 into a dictionary. Values
      from items2 can be broadcast onto items1.
  
      Args:
          items1 (Iterable): full sequence
          items2 (Iterable): can either be a sequence of one item or a sequence
              of equal length to `items1`
          cls (Type[dict]): dictionary type to use. Defaults to dict, but could
              be ordered dict instead.
  
      Returns:
          dict: similar to dict(zip(items1, items2))
  
      Example:
          >>> assert dzip([1, 2, 3], [4]) == {1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 4}
          >>> assert dzip([1, 2, 3], [4, 4, 4]) == {1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 4}
          >>> assert dzip([], [4]) == {}
