> I don't know about what the motivation of moving it was, but I disagree
that it is *not* a data structure. `list` is a data structure for sure, so
a variant of it, namely our lazy list, is it as well.
Well, the "variant" adds something, but not in terms of the data
structure. I would say that a lazy list is some kind of wrapper of a data
structure, not a new data structure.
> The wikipedia says on "data structure" in its first sentence:
> In computer science, a data structure is a particular way of
organizing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently.
> That's what we have, haven't we?
Not really. I wouldn't call a lazy list "a way of organizing data".
It you think it is, then essentially everything in Sage is a data
structure.
