I would just like to comment on one aspect of the DIP for now: 
the "Examples" section is a bit of a sore sight currently. It's 
difficult to get excited about the idea when the proposed actions 
it unlocks is "we're changing two defaults and removing three 
features without providing an immediate replacement".

Regarding the removal of `lazy`, I'm particularly curious about 
the consequent fate of `assert` and `enforce`, two prominent 
current users of `lazy. It seems like either way would involve a 
compromise:

- Will `assert` fully become "compiler magic", unimplementable in 
user code, and `enforce` replaced with an explicit delegate 
variant?
- Will both `assert` and `enforce` require an explicit delegate, 
thus making unit tests quite a bit more syntactically noisy?
- Will both `assert` and `enforce` become "compiler magic" (and 
therefore unimplementable in user code)?
