Could you make this more general so you could make lazy expressions? So instead of getting a number back from 0 + $foo->bar you get back a value which will defer running ->bar until it is actually needed? Sort of like promises from E.

I dont think that would be possible due to the way that perl evaulates arguments.

Maybe you could just name your module Object::Realize::Later::Lighter if the improvement is that you avoid having a ::Lazy package.

Well, we also add a number of other features, including; handling overloaded ops, and handling direct access ($obj->{field} but not just hashs. Blessed arrays,scalars and subs as well.). In general the API and style is very different than Object::Realize::Later so I dont think it would fit.
