Hang on, did the PEP change? The version I saw didn't have a compute() method, deferred objects were just evaluated when they were referenced. There's a *huge* difference (in my opinion) between auto-executing deferred expressions, and a syntax for creating *objects* that can be asked to calculate their value. And yes, the latter is extremely close to being nothing more than "a shorter and more composable form of zero-arg lambda", so it needs to be justifiable in comparison to zero-arg lambda (which is why I'm more interested in the composability aspect, building an AST by combining delayed expressions into larger ones).
