I mentioned similar functionality in Autofac in the following tutorial: Auto-Generated Factories in Autofac for Lazy Instantiation - LazyDependencyModule. I recommend you read that tutorial as it talks more about the concepts, etc., whereas here I will only mention a few comments and show you an example. Autofac also goes a bit further than Unity 2 by supporting Lazy and Lazy when using Autofac with the .NET Framework 4.
