This is a functional vs impertive distinction; math imagines 
arguments being reduced by algerbra and in that world the call 
site isnt relivent, but for a machine left to right at the call 
site is just it doing as told in order.

And Im not saying extra work as in difficult, I mean it 
functionally the compiler would need to have extra step or do use 
more storage to make it *less expressive* then the lazy thing.
