So the compiler cannot look at what the thunk is used for. We need uniform treatment of all thunks. (Even if it means that the thunk's consumer has to work a little harder.)
is it a correct assumption that generalized thunks be it, and so argumenting against them is wasting my time?
Not at all. This is still wide open. I happen to like generalized thunks because they remind me of Ruby blocks. But I realize there are more ways to skin this cat. Keep it coming! And remember, I'm arguing in my spare time. :-) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
