I got a private mail suggesting that list-queue-unfold(-right) should have an optional argument for a tail list-queue onto which the generated elements are prepended. I thought about this earlier, but couldn't decide if it should be an initial queue (which would have to be copied for safety) or an initial list (where it's an error if you mutate the list later), so I left it out. Thoughts, anybody?
I don't quite get the idea so just to clarify. Does this mean if the
optional argument is given like this:
(list-queue-unfold (lambda (seed) (zero? seed))
(lambda (seed) (* seed seed))
(lambda (seed) (- seed 1))
10
'(a b c))
Then the queue storage would look like this?
(100 81 64 49 36 25 16 9 4 1 a b c)
If this is the case, I think it's rather weird. I would expect that all
elements have the same type (or at least the types mapper procedure
returns). But if the procedures are allowed to take the tail elements,
this expectation would be broken.
