The one nice thing is that munzip can perform (fmap fst &&& fmap snd)
in a single pass, rather than taking two passes. This is why we have
all those combined functions in containers like insertLookup,
updateLookup, etc. Though, yes, I'd much rather have a more generic
version which works for any pair/set of functions rather than
hardcoding (fst,snd).
