New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com>:
Based on a comment from Andrew Koenig, it is suggested that the lru_cache()
offer an option to become type specific so that equal objects of different
typed don't get cached to the same entry.
Here's an example:
@lru_cache(typed=True)
def square(x):
print('squaring', x)
return x * x
for x in [3, 3.0, 3, 3.0]:
print(square(x))
Without type specificity, all four calls will return 9 rather than 9. 9.0, 9,
9.0.
First-pass patch attached.
