There are just too many details that we need to work out, too many approaches to the problem that we want to consider. As many people as possible should be able to express ideas on this. A special request to core team is to extend the review to 2 week at least, or even more if it will be needed.

I'm inclined to agree. I'd be happy to extend the review period.

public behaviour lazy<ValueType> {
    private var storage: ValueType? = nil
    private var closure: (() -> ValueType)?

IMO it's unacceptable to have to store a closure for every individual lazy property. That significantly increases the storage cost of the abstraction.
