i have an ephemeral cell which is NIL and a drifter cell which depends on the ephemeral cell. my problem is that the body of the drift cell gets evaluated when the class is instantiated. thus i always have to check the ephemeral against NIL. is there a way to avoid evaluating the drift body on class...
