Comment (by vdelecroix):
Lazy lists might implement a mutable/immutable protocol in the future. In
which case the reference to the Python data structure would be
appropriate. And it is better to not change the name twice.
Stream is a technical computer term mostly used for communications. As it
is said on wikipedia this notion is related to time: it is a "flux of
information". It has the relevant menaing in the language Scheme (which is
as far as I know, marginally used among mathematicians). I strongly
disaprove its usage here.
Other name like `lazy_sequence` are already too mathematical.
Unless you have a strong need (and arguments) to change the name I am
opposed to it.
