 * Complexity
-  Comparing the length of some lists with lengths n_i in *N* requires going
-  across all of their elements.
-O(\sum_{n=0}^{n-1}n_i)
+Comparing the length of some lists with the sum of their lengths *N* is O(N).
 
-With a short-circuit length comparsion, the worst case scenario is the same,
-with the best case O(1) and average case of O(min{N}).
