I've also seen MLers and Lispers and Schemers writing lots of
additional notation to get lazy evaluation. The question mostly is,
which should be the default (lazy or eager) and what are the
respective tradeoffs of this decisions (say purity + possibility of
eq. reasoning vs. a generela impact on efficiency or something like
that)

A single observation has no power of proof in this regard.
