# IntentValueExpression

A type that represents a lazily evaluated intent value.

```
struct IntentValueExpression
```

## Overview

`IntentValueExpression` provides a mechanism for lazy evaluation of intent values,
allowing values to be converted to containers only when needed. This approach improves
performance by deferring potentially expensive conversions until they’re actually required.
