Hello,
Axiom's implementation of Boot's and Spad source includer
(src/boot/btincl2.boot, src/interp/cstream.boot) uses lazyness (faked
through function "Delay"). This is also variously known as zipper.
My quesion is how much of the complexity introduced by faking
lazyness actually outweight the benefits? Is the lazyness actually
beneficial?
