Indeed.  I would personally like to exclude these from the list of Dialyzer
discrepancies, but it is not very clear at this point how to recognize lazy
lists -- which BTW is the only type of improper lists that I can see strong
arguments for liking.

For the rest of the uses of improper lists, the disadvantages outweigh the
benefits, IMO.
