With this patch, with-meta doesn't realize the seq, but realization still only happens once – would this be an acceptable approach?

I added a sentence to the metadata page and updated the description to be more applicable here to a docstring change.

That would make sense yes and on the docstring of lazy-seq as well.

I'm not really sure where this would be documented. Maybe on the http://clojure.org/metadata page?
