/* A helper class for lazily-initialized variables.

     Lazy<T> var([]() { return value; });

   declares a variable of type T that is initialized to 'value' (in a
   thread-safe way) on first use, that is, when var() is first
   called. If the initialiser code throws an exception, then all
   subsequent calls to var() will rethrow that exception. */
