| In this example, the locale module is loaded and parsed, but its evaluation is deferred until you access the namespace object. This allows you to load multiple locale files without executing them immediately. |

Summary
This PR replaces the incomplete import.defer() context module example in the lazy loading guide as the previous code block contained a commented out call (// const modules = import.defer(...)) that was never finished, leaving the section without a working example. The new example shows deferred evaluation of locale modules selected via a dynamic path expression, demonstrating how webpack includes all matching modules in the module graph while deferring execution until a property is first accessed.

No
If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?
The import.defer() context module support was shipped in webpack 5.105 and documented in the release blog post, but the corresponding section in the lazy loading guide was left with a stub example and this PR closes that gap directly in the guide.
