+(define-widget 'lazy 'default
+ "Base widget for recursive datastructures.
+
+The `lazy' widget will, when instantiated, contain a single inferior
+widget, of the widget type specified by the :type parameter. The
+value of the `lazy' widget is the same as the value of the inferior
+widget. When deriving a new widget from the 'lazy' widget, the :type
+parameter is allowed to refer to the widget currently being defined,
+thus allowing recursive datastructures to be described.
+
+The :type parameter takes the same arguments as the defcustom
+parameter with the same name.
+
+Most composite widgets, i.e. widgets containing other widgets, does
+not allow recursion. That is, when you define a new widget type, none
+of the inferior widgets may be of the same type you are currently
+defining.
+
+In Lisp, however, it is custom to define datastructures in terms of
+themselves. A list, for example, is defined as either nil, or a cons
+cell whose cdr itself is a list. The obvious way to translate this
+into a widget type would be
+
+ (define-widget 'my-list 'choice
+ \"A list of sexps.\"
+ :tag \"Sexp list\"
+ :args '((const nil) (cons :value (nil) sexp my-list)))
+
+Here we attempt to define my-list as a choice of either the constant
+nil, or a cons-cell containing a sexp and my-lisp. This will not work
+because the `choice' widget does not allow recursion.
+
+Using the `lazy' widget you can overcome this problem, as in this
+example:
+
+ (define-widget 'sexp-list 'lazy
+ \"A list of sexps.\"
+ :tag \"Sexp list\"
+ :type '(choice (const nil) (cons :value (nil) sexp sexp-list)))"
+ :format "%{%t%}: %v"
+ ;; We don't convert :type because we want to allow recursive
+ ;; datastructures. This is slow, so we should not create speed
+ ;; critical widgets by deriving from this.
