+LazyAttr
+========
+
+Extend your class with LazyAttr:
+
+    require "rubygems"
+    require "lazy_attr"
+   
+    class MyClass
+      extend LazyAttr
+    
+      lazy_attr_reader :foo, lambda { 17 }
+      attr_writer :foo
+    
+      lazy_attr_accessor :bar, lambda { Time.now }
+    end
+
+
+Use it like a typical `attr_reader` or `attr_accessor`:
+
+    >> obj = MyClass.new
+    => #<MyClass:0x260818>
+    
+    >> obj.foo
+    => 17
+    >> obj.foo = 18
+    => 18
+    >> obj.foo
+    => 18
+    
+    >> obj.bar
+    => Mon Feb 23 01:41:15 -0500 2009
+    >> obj.bar
+    => Mon Feb 23 01:41:15 -0500 2009
+    >> obj.bar = Time.now
+    => Mon Feb 23 01:41:20 -0500 2009
+    >> obj.bar
+    => Mon Feb 23 01:41:20 -0500 2009
