The function names in this srfi, while descriptive,
tend to be pretty long. I would like to discuss
possible abbreviations for "stream".
Personally, I like "$" as an abbreviation. It
suggests "stream" because it looks like an 'S'.
Furthermore, it suggests laziness, as '$' is lazy
application in haskell, and Okasaki uses '$' as
notation for suspensions in his _Purely Functional
Data Structures_. Unfortunately, '$' cannot begin an
identifier in R5RS. Here are some legal variations:
Instead of "stream-map",
_$-map
S$-map
map-$
L$-map (suggests "lazy list")
C$-map (suggests "lazy cons")
S-map
Phil-map
