I don't agree with this, again why would the thunk be evaluated twice? If thunks are added to *delay* expression evaluation (which is what I understood from Steven's messages) surely something akin to Haskell's semantics is simpler to understand and implement. That is, instead of thunks being sugar for:

bar = lambda: expr

they're sugar for

bar = memoize(lambda: expr)
