lazy list

from The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (8 July 2008)
lazy list

   A list which is built using a non-strict constructor.  Any
   head or tail of the list may be an unevaluated closure.  Also
   known as streams since they may be used to carry a sequence of
   values from the output of one function to an input of another.
   See also Lazy evaluation.
