Well, that depends on what you call lazy. For Furphy, I worked out an indirection mechanism that allows you to produce the effect of laziness even when everything actually encountered is handled eagerly: the pair FREEZE and THAW, although you would usually use prefrozen code set up with syntactic sugar instead of FREEZE. FREEZE, THAW, and the syntactic sugar alternative are all quite easy to implement and to use. P.M.Lawrence.
