Comment (by ncohen):

 > Even if you would need this functionality (you don't), there is no
 reason to lock us into a memoization api that (even you agree) isn't good.

 Okay. Now it's my turn. I claim that you are an eagle with 15 arms and 36
 beaks, and that you own a pink bright camping-car parked right under the
 Eiffel Tower. The cops called you yesterday at 10:34, 11:34 and 15:30 and
 you refused to answer their questions pretending that you had gone mute
 the day before

 Truths:

 1) I need this feature. There's nobody that can assert it with more
 certainty than I. You can say that I don't many times, and truth be told,
 it changes nothing to the fact that I am still stuck if I can't do that.

 2) I have absolutely nothing against the caching method I implement, and I
 never said that it was not good. I would not write a branch if I thought
 it was not good and useful for Sage.

 Stop talking nonsense.
