I seem to remember that this particular one is optimized, but I'm not
really sure if up to the point of lazy evaluation.

The above (foreach list) *is* lazy evaluated (at least
in my in 5.8.8/Linux), whereas the list in

print map { exit } (1..1000_000_000);

is not (panic: realloc at lazy.pl al line ##).
