I disagree.  If you have a lazy parameter, when you reference it in the
function you are saying "evaluate it at this point".  Essentially, a lazy
parameter is just syntactic sugar for a delegate, so it makes perfect sense to
be able to access said delegate.  I certainly can't see any reason not to allow
the programmer to do this.

(I realise you could effectively achieve this with a delegate literal:
int delegate() dg_ = { return dg; };
But can D compilers be relied on to optimise this to be the original delegate
rather than a wrapper?)

Furthermore, individuals shouldn't be marking bugs as WONTFIX just because they
personally disagree with them.  Let's see what Walter says.
