Lazy

Super-simple scoped lazily-initialised objects, because eager evaluation is for dopes. I am frankly shocked that there is no crate that does this and compiles on any current version of Rust.

Serving suggestion:

let lazy = Lazy::new(|| {
	println!("Doing something complicated!");
	42
});

println!("{}", *lazy);
println!("{}", *lazy);
println!("{}", *lazy);

/* Prints:
 *   Doing something complicated!
 *   42
 *   42
 *   42
 */

Currently implemented with RefCell, but it will not panic. This class is not thread-safe, the project I made it for will eventually need it to be though, so I'll probably update it to use something thread-safe eventually.

No runtime deps
