That's correct.

You'll note that the implementation in 7.3 doesn't claim to be an
implementation of `make-promise`.  It was written before `make-promise`
was added to the standard, and happens to use the same name.

Hopefully someone will provide a more comprehensive implementation of
the lazy library that can be dropped into 7.3.
