Thanks for the insights!
I'm glad that Racket users can afford the luxury of understanding these
things /in principle/ while using included batteries in the real world. :)

For the general question, see Ian's response.
I'm currently trying to grok streams as explained in SICP. Their implementation
relies on the delayed (and optimized) evaluation of a streams cdr. This is
readily achieved using simple lambda-wrapping macros.
This is one of those illusions that text books like to create. By the time you
have thought through recursive re-entry and exception handling and
continuations and who knows what -- all of them available in MIT Scheme, which
was used to create SICP -- nothing looks simple and easy anymore.
