I have looked at Stream, parts of its functions support cyclic stream, parts of its functions don't support cyclic stream. But we can keep it as is, and the changes to List will not influence Stream.
So my points for this "remove cyclic support from List and add proper cyclic support in a new domain CyclicList": 1. There is almost zero usage of cyclic list in algebra code. 2. Functions from List don't support cyclic list porperly, some of them will detect cycles and signal error, some will loop forever. 3. Because of previous two points, I assume nobody's code depends on current status of cyclic list, aka remove cyclic support from List will not break user's code. 4. Because of point 2, this separation will make List (slightly) faster. 5. After this separation, we will have proper cyclic list support in this new domain CyclicList.
