But now you are going to have to come up with a clever name for every replacement and the clarity of each will be shoty at best. The append lazy convention at least is a convention that is very clear, the other way has no rules, you just are making up new names.
A UFCS chain of functions full of the word 'lazy' is going to look pretty clunky.
auto gubbins = guns.setStuffLazy.doMoreThingsLazy.turnOnLasersLazy.fireLasersLazy.coolLasersLazy;
Would using the same names be a possibility for lazy and eager functions? At least going forward. Default to lazy and instantiate as eager otherwise. Is it possible to make a meta template that would instantiate all functions in a chain as lazy or eager as desired?
setExt!"eager" and setExt
