and for all these patterns we already have different (much better IMO)
solutions.

Do you really beleave that quicksort could be an example that shows
usefullness of lazy lists? I don't say that raw performance sould be primary
goal, but an abstraction price should be commensurable to advantages.

And I still do not see a single example of that.
