Comment (by OlivierSohn):

 Replying to [comment:20 bgamari]:
 Thanks for your explanations! I'm not used to think in term of strict /
 lazy evaluation so I'll need to re-read them a few times until I
 understand everything :)
 As a default I was told to use strict fields to avoid accumulating thunks,
 and it's the first time I encounter a problem where I actually need
 lazyness.
