It's worth noting that Perl 6 doesn't have a concept of infinite lists (that is, doesn't try to track that or make decisions based on it). Rather, a list (or sequence) can be marked lazy (or not). So however this gets changed (if at all), it'll want to be based on deciding what to do in the lazy vs. non-lazy case. /jnthn
