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 e.g. q(a b) >>=><< (1,2,3,4) would return (a=>1, b=>2, undef=>3, undef=>4). I agree that is a logical contradiction. Either the first should be infinite, or the second should be short. 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 . . . -- Mark J.
