If deepcopy() needs to work, this problem can be avoided by
implementing lazy items with normal (non-bound) functions.
+
+ If deepcopy() raises a TypeError for a lazy item that has been added
+ via a call to addLazySingleton(), the singleton will be automatically
+ evaluated and deepcopy() will instead be called on the result.
