+ <p>
+ <em>NEW IN Lombok 0.10: </em>You can let lombok generate a getter which will calculate a value once, the first time this getter is called, and cache it from then on. This can be useful
+ if calculating the value takes a lot of CPU, or the value takes a lot of memory. To use this feature, create a <code>private final</code> variable,
+ initialize it with the expression that's expensive to run, and annotate your field with <code>@Getter(lazy=true)</code>. The field will be hidden from the
+ rest of your code, and the expression will be evaluated no more than once, when the getter is first called. There are no magic marker values (i.e. even
+ if the result of your expensive calculation is <code>null</code>, the result is cached) and your expensive calculation need not be thread-safe, as lombok
+ takes care of locking.

+ <p>
+ Lombok actually creates a few fields all prefixed with <code>$lombok$</code> to cache the value. You should not rely on the exact type, name, and structure
+ of these fields as future implementations may change them. To access the lazily initialized value, <em>always</em> use the generated getter.
+ </p><p>
+ Other Lombok annotations such as <code>@ToString</code> always call the getter even if you use <code>doNotUseGetters=true</code>.
