I'm rewriting timeplot to avoid holding the whole input in memory, and
naturally a problem arises:

How to represent large but finite streams and functions that process
them, returning other streams or some kinds of aggregate values?

Examples:
* Adjacent differences of a stream of numbers
* Given a stream of numbers with times, split it into buckets by time
of given width and produce a stream of (bucket, 50%,75% and 90%
quantiles in this bucket)
* Sum a stream of numbers

Is this, perhaps, what comonads are for? Or iteratees?

Plain old lazy lists?
