'lazy' and 'delayed' are good because they describe how the widget
accomplish its task. But I now believe 'recursive' is best, because
it described what the task is. Also
(define-widget 'binary-tree 'recursive ...)
reads well: A binary tree is a recursive datastructure with the
following attributes ...
That use is recursive, but the widget doesn't require you to use
recursion. Its essence is lazy or delayed evaluation. So I think
that should be the name.
