Yes, but at least I, as a user, can control whether to pay the price
or now if they're available. With parameters, I can't. (I could do
create the cells lazily doing some kind of copy-on-write, but as soon
as the write happens, presumably I the price is paid then. At least
when we were working on process cells for scsh, we couldn't figure out
a truly satisfactory solution.)
