Thanks, Juan.
I don't need to know the length of the seq, though, only that it is lazy. I
don't want to realize *any* lazy seqs. Ideally, I'd like to be able to
print any data structure and have all lazy seqs print just like it does in
the example I gave above (i.e., "clojure.lang.LazySeq@c5d38b66"), whether
it is finite or infinite.
I also don't want to walk through every data structure to check if it
contains a lazy seq, but maybe that is the only option.
I've also tried:
(defmethod print-method clojure.lang.LazySeq [q, w]
(.write w "#clojure.lang.LazySeq"))
The next step might be to investigate why infinite lazy seqs don't print as
clojure.lang.LazySeq, like the finite ones.
