Examples of recursion: string-merge

The function string-merge zips two lists of strings to a single string. The lists are not necessarily of equal lengths

(define (string-merge str-list-1 str-list-2)
 (cond ((null? str-list-1) (apply string-append str-list-2))
       ((null? str-list-2) (apply string-append str-list-1))
       (else (string-append
              (car str-list-1) (car str-list-2)
              (string-merge (cdr str-list-1) (cdr str-list-2))))))

A tail recursive version of string-merge.
