Hello Phil,

Thank you very much for your insights.

Thank you for the invitation.  I'll see what I can do, if time allows.

Yes.  I've been thinking about that.  I have some untested ideas, but
as you noted, I'm not sure they fit well with the traditional stream API
(e.g. having to use car/cdr instead of stream-car, stream-cdr).  The
result might not be suitable for this SRFI.

Conceded.

This is also true on my machine.  However, when I try
(times3 100000000), I do run out of memory (it is easy to see in the
performance tab of the Windows task manager that the memory consumed
increases up to >400MB, at which point it starts thrashing).  Perhaps I'm
doing something wrong.  Are you using the definition?

  (define from0
     (let loop ((x 0))
       (stream-delay
         (stream-cons x (loop (+ x 1))))))

The CPS solution does not have the same problem on my machine.  It just
seems to run forever with pretty much flat space consumption.

Best regards
Andre
