    /** Update output object lazily

        This template collects data in input type, and updates the
        output type with the given update functor, but only if the
        output is requested. Useful if updating is expensive, or input
        changes frequently, but output is only comparatively seldom
        used.

        @example
        <pre>
LazyUpdate<InType,OutType,decltype(F)> myValue(F);
*myValue = newInput;
myValue->updateInput( this, that, those );

output( *myValue );
        </pre>
        or
        <pre>
output( myValue.getOutValue() );
        </pre>
        if the compiler does not recognize the const context.
