Implementation of Lazy for .NET 3.5

Question

.NET 4.0 has a nice utility class called System.Lazy that does lazy object initialization. I would like to use this class for a 3.5 project. One time I saw an implementation

Answer 1

Some funny (but not very usable) stuff can be added: implicit coversion from delegate:

public static implicit operator Lazy(Func initializer)
{
    return new Lazy(initializer);
}  

And usage

private static Lazy Value = new Func(() => 24 * 22);

C# compiler have some problem with performing this conversion, for example assigning lambda expression does not work, but it is one more thing causes your colleguas to think a bit :)
