Lazy Streams

Hi all,

Someone pointed out an unknown package "LZS" in my sources on GitHub. That stands for Lazy-Streams. New repository for it is here:

https://github.com/dbmcclain/lazy-streams

This is an outgrowth of my finding a paper by John Hughes, "Why Functional Programming Matters":

http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/dat/miranda/whyfp90.pdf

This is a really neat paper. And while John was writing about the power of ML languages, I decided to implement his ideas in Lisp. Hence Lazy-Streams. I use them in my implementation of the power series definitions for Erf() and Erfc() found in the Math repository. Using lazy streams permits one to perform iterated series acceleration very simply, using streams of indefinite extent. His paper is well worth reading and understanding.
