Well, yes, no, mmm, it depend. One can do a lot of things with stream
using :
Stream.from
Stream.next
Stream.peek
Stream.junk

an then, you don't have to use camlp4. 

by the way, there are thing that are done by the enum module, and not
by stream.

Well, there exist :
    val from : (int -> 'a option) -> 'a t
    val of_list : 'a list -> 'a t
    val of_string : string -> char t
    val of_channel : in_channel -> char t
in module Stream
