Contains benchmark, jcstress checks as well as various implementations of new improved lazy val encodings.

The follow up for this repository will be implementing the feature in the Scala compiler itself.

Note that the project may require JDK9 to run, since it contains implementations experimenting with VarHandles, which could be made available as optional or under a flag in Scala if deemed useful enough.
