No, it is returning exactly as advertised, the result of calling #toString() on an instance of LazySeq. The difference between (str a-lazy-seq) and (apply str a-lazy-seq) is that in the first case str is called with one argument, the lazy seq, and in the second case with, say 5 arguments, for a lazy seq of length 5. The lazy seq is *spliced* into separate arguments to str. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
