Is there any hope for "lazy" and @nogc?

import std.stdio;

// lazy variadic array
void foo(lazy int[] arr...)
{
   writeln(arr[0]);
   writeln(arr[1]);
   writeln(arr[2]);
}

// variadic lazy paramters
void bar(int delegate()[] items...)
{
    writeln(items[0]());
    writeln(items[1]());
    writeln(items[2]());
}

int param(int x)
{
     writeln("param ", x);
     return x;
}

void main()
{
     foo(param(0), param(1), param(2));
     bar(param(0), param(1), param(2));
}

output:

param 0
param 1
param 2
0
param 0
param 1
param 2
1
param 0
param 1
param 2
2
param 0
0
param 1
1
param 2
2

So in the first case, the ENTIRE array is evaluated lazily, and then an 
element selected. In the second case, each item is evaluated when used.
