It's strict by default, but it allows you to do lazy evaluation
*explicitly* by using ``delay'' and ``force''. You can deal with
infinite streams (e.g. stream of all prime numbers), see
<http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-40/srfi-40.html> or the simplier
streams of the book SICP.

Just translate that to Lua, and you can do the same.
