[Ocaml-lib-devel] Enum

[Bill W. <wil...@co...>]

What exactly *is* an enum?  Is it a lazy list?  sequence? totally
ordered multiset?

Can an enum be (potentially) infinite?  For example, what does
    let e = Extlib.Enum,make my_next my_count my_clone in
      Extlib.Enum,append e e
return?  NOTE:
    let x = my_list in x @ x
returns a circular list.  I'm curious as to whether a similar concept
exists with enums.

Thanks,
