What if there was a language supported, non-hackish way to officially delay evaluation of expressions until explicitly requested?
The current spelling for this is "lambda: delayed-expression" and the way to request the value is "()". :)
(I'm not even being that facetious here. People ask for delayed expressions all the time, and it's only 7 characters, provided the callee knows they're getting it, and the semantics are already well defined and likely match what you want.)
