## Struct template lazy

boost::proto::lazy — A PrimitiveTransform that uses `proto::make<>` to build a CallableTransform, and then uses `proto::call<>` to apply it.

## Synopsis

    // In header: <boost/proto/transform/lazy.hpp>

    template<typename T>
    struct lazy :  proto::transform< lazy<T> > {
      // member classes/structs/unions
      template<typename Expr, typename State, typename Data>
      struct impl :  proto::transform_impl<Expr, State, Data> {
        // types
        typedef see-below result_type;

        // public member functions
        result_type operator()(typename impl::expr_param,
                               typename impl::state_param,
                               typename impl::data_param) const;
      };
    };

## Description

`proto::lazy<>` is useful as a higher-order transform, when the transform to be applied depends on the current state of the transformation. The invocation of the `proto::make<>` transform evaluates any nested transforms, and the resulting type is treated as a CallableTransform, which is evaluated with `proto::call<>`.

For the full description of the behavior of the `proto::lazy<>` transform, see the documentation for the nested `proto::lazy::impl<>` class template.
