/**
 * $(LUCKY Memoizes) a function so as to avoid repeated
 * computation. The memoization structure is a hash table keyed by a
 * tuple of the function's arguments. There is a speed gain if the
 * function is repeatedly called with the same arguments and is more
 * expensive than a hash table lookup. For more information on memoization, refer to $(WEB docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhop.perl.plover.com%2Fbook%2Fpdf%2F03CachingAndMemoization.pdf, this book chapter).

Example:
----
double transmogrify(int a, string b)
{
   ... expensive computation ...
}
alias fastTransmogrify = memoize!transmogrify;
unittest
{
    auto slow = transmogrify(2, "hello");
    auto fast = fastTransmogrify(2, "hello");
    assert(slow == fast);
}
----

Technically the memoized function should be pure because $(D memoize) assumes it will
always return the same result for a given tuple of arguments. However, $(D memoize) does not
enforce that because sometimes it
is useful to memoize an impure function, too.

To _memoize a recursive function, simply insert the memoized call in lieu of the plain recursive call.
For example, to transform the exponential-time Fibonacci implementation into a linear-time computation:

Example:
----
ulong fib(ulong n)
{
    alias mfib = memoize!fib;
    return n < 2 ? 1 : mfib(n - 2) + mfib(n - 1);
}
...
assert(fib(10) == 89);
----

To improve the speed of the factorial function,

Example:
----
ulong fact(ulong n)
{
    alias mfact = memoize!fact;
    return n < 2 ? 1 : n * mfact(n - 1);
}
...
assert(fact(10) == 3628800);
----

This memoizes all values of $(D fact) up to the largest argument. To only cache the final
result, move $(D memoize) outside the function as shown below.

Example:
----
ulong factImpl(ulong n)
{
    return n < 2 ? 1 : n * factImpl(n - 1);
}
alias fact = memoize!factImpl;
...
assert(fact(10) == 3628800);
----

The $(D maxSize) parameter is a cutoff for the cache size. If upon a miss the length of the hash
table is found to be $(D maxSize), the table is simply cleared.

Example:
----
// Memoize no more than 128 values of transmogrify
alias fastTransmogrify = memoize!(transmogrify, 128);
----
*/
template memoize(alias fun, uint maxSize = uint.max)

        auto t = Tuple!Args(args);
        auto p = t in memo;
        if (p) return *p;
        static if (maxSize != uint.max)
        {
            if (memo.length >= maxSize) memo = null;
        }
        auto r = fun(args);
        //writeln("Inserting result ", typeof(r).stringof, "(", r, ") for parameters ", t);
        memo[t] = r;
        return r;
