But you still require extensions to cut up the algorithm in discrete blocks, right?

Much thanks to macros, as usual; without that support, the approach wouldn't really be feasible for general purpose use.




Hmmm, frankly its just a CLOS object, with the defmethods controlling the iteration. I tried to model the object like Python iterators, however the API ended up a bit more like Haskell.


Aight, just to clarify; the step wise, stuttering experience that normally comes with extending iterators is what I'm trying to get away from here :)
