'lazy' was the name you suggested.

The doc string for `child' is now clear, but it shows
that `child' is not the right name for it.
ISTR that there is a frequently used term for an object
whose value will be computed only when you actually refer to it,
but it has been so many years that I don't remember the term.
Is it "lazy"? Maybe this type should be called `lazy'.
`delayed' is ok too.
