Suppose I tie() a variable. Is it possible from the FETCH handler to get my hands on the tied variable (!not the object implementing it, the actual variable!), untie it and store the result there?

This would be really handy in the Data::Lazy module. Currently when you FETCH the value of the scalar variable the first time it computes the value, stores it in the object, returns it and then it behaves exactly as an ordinary variable. Except that it's still tied and therefore much slower :-(

Thanks, Jenda
