I don't remember any resolution. I think submitting a small module to the patch tracker would be the simplest way to revive the discussion.

We have a handful of interesting descriptors we use for Zope 3 development:

I find I use the Lazy property quite a bit in short-lived contexts (a single web request); this sounds very much like what's being described here. The readproperty is probably better when the computation isn't so expensive and the value may need to be re-computed frequently anyway.
