It shouldn't be a type error. My thought is that since the lazy 
expression (lowers to a delegate) is actually known to be eager 
here, and it's not pointing to some delegate made elsewhere (it's 
essentially a literal), it should be entirely possible to just 
inline into the equivalent form in the first sample that does not 
rely on lazy.
