lazy-seq marks it's supplied lambdata with ^{:once true} to prevent the 
memory leak described at the bottom of this page <http://clojure.org/lazy>.
However, while going over the code for clojure.lang.LazySeq, I noticed that 
ever since this commit by 
Rich<https://github.com/clojure/clojure/commit/9253928ba2330b9929eb26577ba20047fb24c5de#diff-829faa850c65e040e132cd9243bf7ac2R42>,
 
LazySeq doesn't extend AFn, but rather contains a reference to the lambda, 
fn, which it nullifies immediately after the first use, supposedly 
preventing any leaks caused by closed locals.
So my question is, is ^{:once true} still necessary for lazy-seqs, or does 
this (pretty old) change to LazySeq make it redundant?
