Trying to generalize [metamorphisms](http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/jeremy.gibbons/publications/metamorphisms-scp.pdf) away from lists.

-- | A “flushing” 'stream', with an additional coalgebra for flushing the
--   remaining values after the input has been consumed. This also allows us to
--   generalize the output away from lists.
fstream
  :: (Cursive t (XNor a), Cursive u f, Corecursive u f, Traversable f)
  => Coalgebra f b -> (b -> a -> b) -> Coalgebra f b -> b -> t -> u
fstream ψ g ψ' = go
  where
    go c x = 
      let fb = ψ c
      in if 0 < length fb
         then embed $ fmap (flip go x) fb
         else case project x of
                Both a x' -> go (g c a) x'
                None      -> ana ψ' c

-- | Like 'fstream', but rather than using the 'length' of the 'f' from the
--  'Coalgebra', we use a 'CoalgebraM' (but this makes it impossible to write
--  'afstream''). It also reduces the 'Traversable' constraint to 'Functor'.
--   The 'CoalgebraM' also allows us to distinguish between cases where we just
--   want to stop processing input ('Just None') and the case when we need to
--   acquire more input ('Nothing'), which becomes more interesting when 'u'
--   isn’t a list and may have multiple leaf nodes.
fstream'
  :: (Cursive t (XNor a), Cursive u f, Corecursive u f, Functor f)
  => CoalgebraM Maybe f b -> (b -> a -> b) -> Coalgebra f b -> b -> t -> u
fstream' ψ g ψ' = go
  where
    go c x =
      maybe (case project x of
               Both a x' -> go (g c a) x'
               None      -> ana ψ' c)
            (embed . fmap (flip go x))
            $ ψ c

-- | An “auto-flushing” stream – uses the same coalgebra for streaming
--   generation and flushing. It gives us the original signature of 'stream',
--   but still generalized away from lists.
afstream
  :: (Cursive t (XNor a), Cursive u f, Corecursive u f, Traversable f)
  => Coalgebra f b -> (b -> a -> b) -> b -> t -> u
afstream ψ g = fstream ψ g ψ

-- | A stream for truly infinite inputs.
sstream
  :: (Cursive t ((,) a), Cursive u f, Traversable f)
  => Coalgebra f b -> (b -> a -> b) -> b -> t -> u
sstream ψ g = go
  where
    go c x = 
      let fb = ψ c
      in if 0 < length fb
         then embed $ fmap (flip go x) fb
         else case project x of
                (a, x') -> go (g c a) x'

-- | This is to 'sstream' as 'fstream'' is to 'fstream'.
sstream'
  :: (Cursive t ((,) a), Cursive u f, Functor f)
  => CoalgebraM Maybe f b -> (b -> a -> b) -> b -> t -> u
sstream' ψ g = go
  where
    go c x = 
      maybe (case project x of (a, x') -> go (g c a) x')
            (embed . fmap (flip go x))
            $ ψ c

-- | Streaming representation-changers – a.k.a., metamorphism.
stream :: Coalgebra (XNor c) b -> (b -> a -> b) -> b -> [a] -> [c]
stream ψ g = fstream ψ g (const None)

snoc :: [a] -> a -> [a]
snoc x a = x ++ [a]

x :: [Int]
x = stream project snoc [] [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Ok, with the GApo insight, I’ve rewritten it in a way that I think obsoletes all the previous stuff:

stream'
  :: (Cursive t e, Cursive u f, Functor f)
  => CoalgebraM Maybe f b
  -> (b -> ((b -> b, t) -> u) -> e t -> u)
  -> b
  -> t
  -> u
stream' ψ f = go
  where
    go c x =
      maybe (f c (uncurry go . ((&) c *** id)) $ project x)
            (embed . fmap (flip go x))
            $ ψ c

-- | Handles cases like infinite streams that can’t terminate, and therefore never need to flush.
streamAna
  :: (Cursive t e, Cursive u f, Functor f)
  => CoalgebraM Maybe f b
  -> AlgebraM ((,) (b -> b)) e t
  -> b
  -> t
  -> u
streamAna ψ φ = stream' ψ $ \c f -> f . φ

-- | Handles streams that need to flush.
streamGApo
  :: (Cursive t e, Cursive u f, Corecursive u f, Functor f)
  => Coalgebra f b
  -> CoalgebraM Maybe f b
  -> (e t -> Maybe (b -> b, t)) -- maybe an 'AlgebraM'
  -> b
  -> t
  -> u
streamGApo ψ' ψ φ = stream' ψ $ \c f -> maybe (ana ψ' c) f . φ

streamAna is like the original stream/sstream formulations, and streamGApo is like the fstream ones. With both defined in terms of stream' that expects some extra-complicated function that handles the foldl aspect.
