I found your rant a bit long on vehemence and short on coherence,
Luke, but if I understand you correctly, your complaint is that this
is finite:
@finite_list >>=><< @infinite_list
while, according to S03, this is long:
@short_list >>=><< @long_list
Precisely.
But I still don't understand your expressed incredulity about xx *. I
think it's perfectly clear what that means. Fpr example, $foo xx *
creates a(n infinite) list which contains $foo at every position no
matter how high a position you ask for . . .
Ahh, that wasn't a complaint about xx *. I was shuddering an infinite
number of times.
