Hello again,

Sorry, I made a mistake.  The implication of the last sentence is
actually false, due to the off-by-one error mentioned in point (2) of my
last email.  The implication is true only if "exceeds" is changed to
"exceeds or equals".

In contrast, the converse implication is true regardless of whether "or
equals" is added or not, and so that's what I should have written above:

  If there's an index that exceeds the number of elements generated by
  value-gen, then 'value-gen' is exhausted first.

The remainder of point (3) still stands:

except that the "[...]" should be removed.

      Thanks,
