Currently the lazy objects feature is designed as a low-level technical building block that libraries and frameworks can use. FFI and Fibers are examples of such features that most users do not use directly, but can benefit greatly from within libraries they use. We have considered the proposed syntaxes, such as using annotations, but these do not match the core use case of creating a lazy instance of a class without requiring cooperation from the class itself. Furthermore we believe that designing a higher-level API in the language would be considerably more difficult and could put the RFC at risk. However, it is possible to introduce a higher-level way to create lazy objects in a future RFC. Best Regards, Arnaud
