Just a quick announce: the stream fusion library for lists, that Duncan Coutts, Roman Leshchinskiy and I worked on earlier this year is now available on Hackage as a standalone package:

The module Data.Stream clashes with a module in the Stream package (originally from the arrows package), and I think the latter is a more widely used notion of stream. Would you consider renaming Data.Stream and Control.Monad.Stream?
Right, so how best to resolve this? Any name suggestions?
I would suggest dropping the name 'stream' completely, or at least adding an adjective. There are several things named streams, and these fusion streams are not the most natural of them. Calling them 'streams' will only confuse people. Some suggestions: - Data.List.Fusable - Data.StreamFusion - Data.FusionStream - Data.UnfoldedStream Also, this module feels like an 'internal' module to me. Perhaps poluting the Data. or Control. hierarchy with it is not a good idea. It really belongs in some sort of 'Optimization.' or 'Internal.' hierarchy. Twan
