//! This module implements the runtime representation of Thunks.
//!
//! Thunks are a special kind of Nix value, similar to a 0-argument
//! closure that yields some value. Thunks are used to implement the
//! lazy evaluation behaviour of Nix:
//!
//! Whenever the compiler determines that an expression should be
//! evaluated lazily, it creates a thunk instead of compiling the
//! expression value directly. At any point in the runtime where the
//! actual value of a thunk is required, it is "forced", meaning that
//! the encompassing computation takes place and the thunk takes on
//! its new value.
//!
//! Thunks have interior mutability to be able to memoise their
//! computation. Once a thunk is evaluated, its internal
//! representation becomes the result of the expression. It is legal
//! for the runtime to replace a thunk object directly with its value
//! object, but when forcing a thunk, the runtime *must* mutate the
//! memoisable slot.
