Please don't formulate it this way, as it sounds to me as if the list
being "consumed" is disappearing (because that's what generally
happens when something is being "consumed").  :-/
To the beginners reading this: well, in OCaml, any given list will
never disappear before it actually becomes useless, and they may be
"consumed" over and over again without any "harm" happening to them.
