LRegistry - Lazy Registry Class

/**
 * LRegistry Class

 * Managing globals with the registry pattern.
 * This class provides lazy loading functionallity. This means it is possible to
 * add a callback or class (with arguments) which will be called or instanciated
 * when it is being used for the first time.
