Users

Users always want another feature
For example, a cache with LRU or timed expiration or ...
... or a cache that persists on the disk using GDBM_File or DB_File or ...
Everyone one wants something a little different
Sometimes they even send patches
Problem: Every new feature makes the memoized function slower than before
Desire: People who don't use these features shouldn't have to pay for them
