What if you expose the lower-level API, and then make lazy streaming a useful
example. I.e., call your module "thunk.el" or "lazy.el".

I would have uses for such a library beyond streams of value: for example,
querying an external process for a tidbit of information, but abstracting this
interaction to appear as a "value" within a thunk.
