svn is back up, and I committed the latest changes (see ChangeLog). The 
manual also has a subsection with (hopefully) instructive stream 
examples now. (See the end of the EXAMPLES section.)

Yes, the results you got are correct. I fixed up take/takewhile which 
were too eager. Use, e.g., list (take 10 ints) to force the stream, like 
in Q.

(I also changed the <<external object>> notation, which could be 
mistaken as ordinary expression syntax, to those double curly braces 
which aren't -- and won't be -- legal Pure. If anyone has a better 
suggestion, or prefers it the way it was, I'd like to hear about it.)

Talking about the dreaded 'list' at the beginning of a line ambiguity, I 
really think I have to do something about this, it bites me all the 
time, too. I don't have that problem with other commands, it's just that 
darn 'list' command, because the 'list' function gets used so frequently.

How about calling the interactive 'list' command 'lsd' (for "list 
definition") instead? In any case it should be short, memoizable and not 
likely to be used as a function name. Any better ideas?

Cheers,
Albert
