Eww.

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that it's far
preferable to use a pure functional approach. Instead of fixing

(defn foo [x]
  (with-open [bar (baz x)]
    (make-some-lazy-seq bar)))

(map do-something-with (foo quux))

-> IOException: stream closed

with "resource scopes", or even with

(defn foo [x]
  (with-open [bar (baz x)]
    (doall (make-some-lazy-seq bar))))

(map do-something-with (foo quux))

isn't the truly functional way to use HOF like this?

(defn foo [x processor]
  (with-open [bar (baz x)]
    (processor (make-some-lazy-seq bar))))

(foo quux #(map do-something-with %))
