But how does this change the fact that y still has 1 more element than yq? yq is after all, not a circular list.
infinity+1 = infinity
Surely this is just a mathematical convention, not reality! :-)
Not even that. Infinity isn't a number, and it doesn't really make sense to add one to it.
Couldn't an infinite list just be regarded as the maximum element of the (infinite) set of all finite lists?
The point of infinity is that there is no maximum :-) -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
