Hm.
Not sure which way it was in VW. My tendency is to throw away lazy
initialization unless someone can prove that it is needed.
I prefer to always see a comment explaining *why* lazy initialization
is right.

in oscar changes it is

^ incomingInvocations values
So what should I do.
Because now I do not know! But I'm certainly stupid for sure.
What I know is that this metastuff gets in our way.
I do not care about reproducing complete code (which we cannot in FAME
because lazy initialization and other useful code level
idioms are not represented) and now instead of focusing on Moose I
have to deal with meta representation concerns.
Really I think that we got trapped there.
Knowing where to stop is as important as doing it. Next time I will
fight really hard against any smart cleaner cooler meta meta stuff.
Which is sad because I know what I'm talking about.
