Create maps whose values are only calculated when accessed, either from data or from java objects.
Supports both Clojure and Clojurescript!

** The [[http://malabarba.github.io/lazy-map-clojure/lazy-map.core.html#var-lazy-map][lazy-map]]

This macro is analogous to ~lazy-seq~. It takes a map (instead of a
seq), but the value expressions you write aren't actually evaluated
until they are accessed.

#+BEGIN_SRC clojure
user> (def my-map
(lazy-map
{:cause (do (println "Getting Cause")
:major-failure)
:name (do (println "Getting Name")
"Some Name")}))
#'user/my-map

user> (:name my-map)
Getting Name
"Some Name"

user> (:name my-map)
"Some Name"

user> (:cause my-map)
Getting Cause
:major-failure

user> (:cause my-map)
:major-failure
#+END_SRC

You can also assoc new keys into a LazyMap like a regular Clojure map.
If you assoc a ~delay~ it will act as a lazy value, and if you assoc
anything else it acts as a regular value.

#+BEGIN_SRC clojure
user> (def new-map (-> (assoc my-map :surname "Malabarba")
(assoc :delayed-surname
(delay (println "Resolved")
"Late Malabarba"))))
#'user/new-map
user> (:surname my-map)
"Malabarba"
user> (:delayed-surname my-map)
Resolved
"Late Malabarba"
#+END_SRC

** The [[http://malabarba.github.io/lazy-map-clojure/lazy-map.iop.html#var-extend-lazy-map][to-lazy-map]] protocol

This protocol allows you to convert any java class into a lazy map,
where each entry correponds to a method call. Since everything is
lazy, you can rest assured the methods won’t actually be called until
you use them.

#+BEGIN_SRC clojure
user> (use 'lazy-map.iop)
nil
user> (extend-lazy-map String)
nil

user> (to-lazy-map "My Own Map!")
{:to-char-array #object[clojure.lang.Delay 0x5c3c775a {:status :pending, :val nil}],
:empty? #object[clojure.lang.Delay 0x774f63f2 {:status :pending, :val nil}],
:to-string #object[clojure.lang.Delay 0x4a62ed8c {:status :pending, :val nil}],
:intern #object[clojure.lang.Delay 0x4ddc7018 {:status :pending, :val nil}],

:code-points #object[clojure.lang.Delay 0x64c7f917 {:status :pending, :val nil}],
:to-lower-case #object[clojure.lang.Delay 0x1493800b {:status :pending, :val nil}],
:hash-code #object[clojure.lang.Delay 0x5d4a8318 {:status :pending, :val nil}],
:object #object[clojure.lang.Delay 0x30ba32c3 {:status :pending, :val nil}],
:to-upper-case #object[clojure.lang.Delay 0x6b6e6a82 {:status :pending, :val nil}]}

user> (:to-upper-case *1)
"MY OWN MAP!"
#+END_SRC

Note how there’s an entry for each method. Obviously, only methods
that takes no arguments (0-arity) are included.

There’s also an extra ~:object~ entry holding the string itself.
