//! 	functions::*,
//! 	types::*,

	/// A trait for deferred lazy evaluation with thread-safe thunks.
	///
	/// `SendDeferrable` is the thread-safe counterpart of
	/// [`Deferrable`](crate::classes::Deferrable). Where `Deferrable` accepts any
	/// `FnOnce() -> Self + 'a`, this trait requires `FnOnce() -> Self + Send + 'a`,
	/// ensuring the closure can be sent across thread boundaries. The two traits
	/// are independent: implementing one does not require implementing the other.
	///
	/// Unlike [`SendCloneFn`](crate::classes::SendCloneFn), which wraps multi-use
	/// `Fn` closures that are `Send + Sync`, this trait accepts a `FnOnce` closure that
	/// only needs to be `Send` (not `Sync`), since deferred computations are executed
	/// at most once.
	///
	/// ### Laws
	///
	/// `SendDeferrable` instances must satisfy the following law:
	/// * Transparency: `send_defer(|| x)` is observationally equivalent to `x` when evaluated.
	///
	/// ### Why there is no generic `fix`
	///
	/// As with [`Deferrable`](crate::classes::Deferrable), lazy self-reference requires
	/// shared ownership and interior mutability, which are properties specific to
	/// [`Lazy`](crate::types::Lazy). The concrete function
	/// [`arc_lazy_fix`](crate::types::lazy::arc_lazy_fix) provides this capability for
	/// `ArcLazy` specifically.

	/// // Transparency: send_defer(|| x) is equivalent to x when evaluated.
	/// let x = ArcLazy::pure(42);
	/// let deferred: ArcLazy<i32> = send_defer(|| ArcLazy::pure(42));
	/// assert_eq!(*deferred.evaluate(), *x.evaluate());
