Sounds like deferred execution could be useful, but I wanted to complain about
the example above. I realize it is "just an example" but if I saw this in code,
the first thing I'd do is ask for it to be changed.
Why? The same variable (or simple variant) shouldn't be passed twice in a
signature, when it can be operated on inside the body of the function to get
that variant. i.e.: DRY.
Probably someone will think up an exception to that, but even so, occurrence is
a fraction of rare and not enough to justify this new feature.
Believe I saw better examples in the discussion, so please go with one of those.
