Can we have a generic function/code that is as efficient as yours?
Well, for now, we have "map" (and "iota"). This usually covers enough
ground, but there remains cases where it is sub-optimal.
What we would need is a "generate". Basically, a range that calls a
function to generate the value of front on the fly. I've seen enough
threads like this one that "abuse" iota/repeat/take/map (or sequence and
recurrence for that matter), just to obtain a generic generator.
Let's just write Generator/generator.
Make sure you copy Sequence/sequence :o).
