Yes, that's what I mean. In Haskell such lists are simply part of the
core language; Perl 5 can hack them together with list accessors; Perl 6
has them in the core too... I think "lazy list" is a popular term for
the general facility? I'm surprised no one has needed them, whatever
the name :)
Slightly related: is there a general memoization package or standard
approach to memoizing functions?
