Does the default toString() of the memoizing supplier not work for you? It doesn't trigger the memoization if it hasn't occurred yet.

My inclination is that this is niche enough that I'd suggest just writing your own, perhaps even wrapping a single-element LoadingCache or something.

While toString() use-case could be mitigated, I fail to see how exposing a property that's already there can be harmful. Currently I have to resort to using Apache Commons because there's LazyInitializer.html#isInitialized - however I find it's usage bulky in comparison to MemoizingSupplier.
