I was referring to your and my Lisp solution. I think my solution is
easier to understand. Your Lisp solution has to express a lot of
machinery to make the lazy evaluation work, and that distracts from the
problem you actually want to solve, IMHO.

I wasn't asking how to transform a list in lisp based on some global
property about the list, I was asking if there was a better way to
express idiomatic haskell.

Fair enough, but that wasn't clear to me from your original post. So
sorry for misunderstanding you.


Well, I should have been more explicit.
