eager_or_lazy.rs

1//! Utilities for evaluating whether eagerly evaluated expressions can be made lazy and vice versa.
2//!
3//! Things to consider:
4//!  - does the expression have side-effects?
5//!  - is the expression computationally expensive?
6//!
7//! See lints:
8//!  - unnecessary-lazy-evaluations
9//!  - or-fun-call
10//!  - option-if-let-else
