This is not about bureaucracy --- it's about API contract, and there is *no*
* *contract to speak of for lazy sequences. Even the guarantee that it 
won't try to fully realize an infinite sequence is just word of mouth, and 
more of a common-sense guarantee than anything else.

Basically, coding against lazy seqs only imposes a burden and gives no 
relief in return: you *must* preserve laziness whenever applicable, but you 
*may not* take advantage of it by assuming any guarantees.
