I want to finish the second draft before updating Github. I shared the section on lazy collections on the list last night because Dave specifically pointed me in that direction and I am interested in his feedback on it. > > >> The forwardee needs to implement the members of the protocol but does not >> need to conform.

If you have a look at the lazy collections example maybe it will start to make more sense. I will also have other examples. If you don't want to find the post from last night, just wait until I finish the second draft. I will announce the second draft on list when it's ready. > > -David
