Since there are a lot of existing lazy algorithms in Phobos

What user is going to think that's intuitive? It's not a bad
idea, but it's terribly complicated and it doesn't even indicate
the critical property of the function: that it's lazy. Let's just
prepend -Lazy to the name and call it a day. Why prepend instead
of append? Because the names will be sorted in lexical order and
we want abbrevLazy to show up right below abbrev.
- abbrev : abbrevLazy
- capitalize : capitalizeLazy
- center : centerLazy
- detab : detabLazy
- entab : entabLazy
- format : formatLazy
- leftJustify : leftJustifyLazy
- munch : munchLazy
- outdent : outdentLazy
- removechars : removedCharsLazy
...etc.
