Delayed Evaluation
==================

[delay]

 - primitive: promise? x
     Return true if OBJ is a promise, i.e. a delayed computation (Note:
     Delayed evaluation.).

 - primitive: force x
     If the promise X has not been computed yet, compute and return X,
     otherwise just return the previously computed value.
