Laziness? In my experience it is not nearly as useful as it is suggested to be, but it does seem to be pushed as a feature of clojure. > All of this discussion has made me think I should revist the issue.

One of the things putting me off my evil plan was the prospect of implementing a clojure data structure in clojure; I know what a pain that is. This might help to circumvent all of that.
