[R] passing a function as an argument using lazy loading

I have the following function that makes use of lazy loading.

foo <- function(x=2*y, y=x/2) cat(x,y)

Now I want to be able to modify it like below:

foo(y=x/3)

Of course, this does not work as the object x is not known. Still I
would like to be able to pass a function as an argument that is
evaluated using lazy loading.

Can someone help?

Thanks,
Mark
