You may run into a stackoverflow, though. This normally doesn't happen for 
usual code. But if you were piling eg. filter on filter on filter based on 
some user input, where you a priori don't know the size, it could happen 
that you kick off an avalanche of seq calls when realising the outermost 
sequence. To be realised it has to realise the inner seq and the inner seq 
and the inner seq .... When this tower of sequences large enough, you will 
blow up the stack.

Kind regards
