description

    
[Based on feedback from Marc Feeley]

The `eager` procedure is named particularly unfortunately because it sounds as though it is in some way paired with `lazy`, and there is anecdotal evidence it was voted in on this misunderstanding.  In fact, it is completely unrelated to `lazy`, being just a utility procedure that has never been seen used in practice.  Perhaps a better name for it would be `promise` or `make-promise`, since it just creates an (already computed) promise value.

The WG voted to adopt this proposal, using the name `make-promise`.
