There is a complete lazy list implementation from Reginald Braithwaite website:
http://raganwald.com/source/lazy_lists.html
It supports a lot of operations on this kind of "infinite" structures such as merge and cartesian product.
That one could make it to the core!

Honestly I do not believe that the core is the place to put such

I do not think what follows is fit for the core either, but maybe you
find it interesting or helpful:
class Lazy
def initialize init, op, *args
@init = init
@op = op
@args = args.dup
end
def upto value
return [] if value < 1
(2..value).inject([@init]){ |acc,| acc << acc.last.send( @op, *@args ) }
end
end # class Lazy

irb(main):001:0> l = Lazy.new 1, :+, 2
=> #<Lazy:0xb7ddfa60 @args=[2], @init=1, @op=:+>
irb(main):002:0> l.upto 5

irb(main):003:0> m = Lazy.new 2, :*, 3
=> #<Lazy:0xb7dd4908 @args=[3], @init=2, @op=:*>
irb(main):004:0> m.upto 4

P.S. Implementations without #inject are theoretically possible
