[racket] Can impersonator be a cache?

 I want to have lazy-load struct. In C++ it is called proxy reference (when dereferencing return new (or cached) object loaded on demand)

Ideally, it would be like
(lazy-struct obj (a b c) #:loader load-data)

then

(define my-obj (make-ref obj "unique-id"))

(displayln (obj-a my-obj)) ;; here content of my-obj should be loaded via load-data.

And match pattern would also work.

Now I made API with (get-field my-obj 'a), but is not Racketish.
