Matthew Flatt a5615a7bae racket/stream: add more control over laziness
Add `#:eager` options to `stream-cons` to control whether the head
and/or tail expression is delayed. Also add `stream-lazy` to
explicitly construct a lazy stream and `stream-force` (normally not
needed) to force a stream.

Delayed expressions in `stream-cons` are now non-reentrant, like
promises created by `delay`. This is a change in behavior, but I'm
hoping that no one relied on the old behavior, which has the bad
property that the delayed expression is retained until its result is
received.

For consistency, this commit also changes `stream*` to delay the
stream-construction expression when its the only one expression that
is given.

Internally, changes to the stream implementation reduce allocation.

The `stream-lazy` form would be more natrally called `stream-delay`,
but that creates a conflict with existing packages.

Racket is a general-purpose programming language and an ecosystem for language-oriented programming.

This repository holds the source code for the core of Racket plus some related packages. The rest of the Racket distribution source code is in other repositories, mostly under the Racket GitHub organization.

Quick Start

Pre-built versions of Racket for a variety of operating systems and architectures, as well as convenient source distributions are available at

https://download.racket-lang.org

Racket comes with extensive documentation, including several tutorials. You can read all of this documentation, as well as documentation for third-party packages at

https://docs.racket-lang.org

Building from Source
