Thanks for the comment. I will probably do it that way then.
Also the prototype I last sent doesn’t do this yet, it just
demonstrate the basic idea, and is not a polished implementation.
Whether and how to do it lazily is a pure implementation issue.
The issue with the Elisp prototype is, it walks the object graph recursively,
and I suspect in practice it will occasionally use up stack space.
How can we work around this?
