Other ideas: "metafunction

What about "delayed metafunction"? The desire to _delay_ the application of
a metafunction is the
reason this metafunction/metafunction-class distinction was created in the
first place. (No?)

"Delay" also has precedent in the Boost Preprocessor library (for similar
reasons).

Just another 2 cents,
Eric
