I think that would be a good idea to copy-and-modify the code from stdlib: http://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/libraries/stdlib/src/kotlin/util/Lazy.kt#L37

It is very cleaver, for example it does not produce memory leaks.

Currently you code should not compile. Try to run it at http://try.kotlinlang.org/
