I would say that `b[1]` should create a brand new thunk object of that
expression. On evaluation of that, it'll look up b, subscript it, and
touch the thunk. When it does, it Schrodingers itself into a value and
that's that.

In my opinion, __getitem__ isn't a problem, but __setitem__ is.
Somewhere along the way, you have to be able to "hold" a thunk as a
thunk. I've no idea how that works when you pass it around from
function to function.
