you might want to look at:

  A Stream Data Type that Supports Goal-Directed Pattern Matching on 
    Unbounded Sequences of Values, in Computer Languages, Vol. 15, No. 1
    (jan 1990) by Kelvin Nilsen

this describes one proposed solution to the sort of problems you mentioned.

unfortunately, i haven't yet gathered enough external funding and/or 
 academic rank to spend much time on development and distribution of
 my real-time derivative of Icon, Conicon.
