Nice. So you can use [] if it saves you a set of parens, and thunk to sidestep the implicit function call:

  (thunk 34)

Actually, I don't use 'thunk when it doesn't save me parens. Both "thunk" and "fn ()" take up the same number of characters (albeit not the same number of tokens), and I figure Arc programmers will have to look up what 'thunk means more often than they look up 'fn. :-p

Incidentally, it actually does save parens in that case:

  thunk.34
