Allow defaults to be lazy

See original GitHub issue

I like to do nested lookup, currently I do this:

i18n._({ 
     id: "resource.user.fields.username.label",
     defaults: i18n._({id: "fields.username.label",defaults: "Username"})
})

But this always resolves the default, I like this to be lazy:

i18n._({ 
     id: "resource.user.fields.username.label",
     defaults: i18n => i18n._({id: "fields.username.label",defaults:"Username"})
})

Thoughts ? (I think it’s relatively easy to implement)

There’s already open issue for it #342. It might be easy to do by exporting compiler in subpackage as described here: https://github.com/lingui/js-lingui/issues/342#issuecomment-424687026. There’re might be few problems to solve, because lingui compile does few more things on top of compiling messages, as described at the end of this comment.

That’s why I said a create compiler macro, which would generate a compiler.js (like the compiled catalogs) which contains the pluralize methods for the selected locales. This would allow the compiler to be small and support the required locales. But that’s just an idea.
