Golf! Yeah!

Here the low-level version:

(defn sift
  [pred coll]
  (letfn [(step
            [sep [f :as s] xs]
            (if (or (not s) (pred f))
              (cons [sep xs] (sift pred s))
              (recur sep (next s) (conj xs f))))]
    (lazy-seq
      (when-let [s (seq coll)]
        (step (first s) (next s) [])))))

As lazy as you can get, not holding unto the head (I hope), traversing
each element of the sequence only once.

Sincerely
Meikel

PS: Since the problem is ill-specified I assume, that the first item
is always a separator (for the implementors convenience). Which makes
sense, since nil does not necessarily fulfill pred and I don't another
"default" value.
