Thank you for the reminder Colin Jones. I used the _ char instead of this since the implicit object argument is not directly used while the closed over s is. I should go back through my old posts and update them for Clojure 1.2+.

Looks like this needs a small tweak to work in Clojure 1.2, adding a this argument to each of the ISeq methods: https://gist.github.com/717761

Thanks for clarifying chunked sequences. This is the clearest exposition of chunked sequences I have ever seen so far. yes, I have a MEAP copy of your book.

Now, isn't chunking and dechunking, an implementation detail? Users expect some behavior from lazy behavior, chunking changes it and that is an implementation detail. Similarly with seq1 (dechunking). Why is that leaked into the outside view of the language?

As someone else remarked in Hackers News, I too wish the default would be 1-at-a-time, and the chunk-at-a-time optimization would be an option. Would be more clear, more intuitive, and more consistent with the rest of Clojure spirit.
