[erlang-questions] Crash on alloc

[Dave Smith]

This is the type of thing Haskell is good at :)
([3,5..40000000],[3,5..40000000])

, or if you really wanted it to be unbounded...
([3,5..],[3,5..])

Unfortunately Erlang doesn't do lazy evaluation (and can't for good
reason),  so allocation is all done upfront.
