/**
* \brief Lazy initialization template class
*
* The lazy-initialized value of type T can be obtained from a `Lazy<T>` instance by using the `operator*()`. Initialization of the value happens when the `operator*()` is called for the very first time, by invoking the `initializer` lambda-function that was passed to the constructor. The return value of the `initializer` lambda-function is then stored internally, so that any subsequent call to the `operator*()` *immediately* returns the previously created value.
*
* **Note on thread-saftey:** This class is thread-safe in the sense that all calls to `operator*()` on the same `Lazy<T>` instance, regardless from which thread, are guaranteed to return the exactly same value/object. The *first* thread trying to access the value will invoke the `initializer` lambda-function; concurrent threads may need to busy-wait until the initialization is completed. The `initializer` lambda-function is invoked at most once.
