/**
* Method annotation that creates a cache for the results of the execution of the annotated method. Whenever the method
* is called, the mapping between the parameters and the return value is preserved in a cache making subsequent calls with
* the same arguments fast.
*
* <p>
* Example usage:
*
* <pre>
* class MemoizedExample {
*
* {@code @Memoized}
* int sum(int n1, int n2) {
* println "$n1 + $n2 = ${n1 + n2}"
* n1 + n2
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* which becomes (approximately):
*
* <pre>
* class MemoizedExample {
*
* private final Closure memoizedSum = { int n1, int n2 ->
* private$method$memoizedSum(n1,n2)
* }.memoize()
*
* int sum(int n1, int n2) {
* memoizedSum(n1, n2)
* }
*
* private private$method$mzmoizeSum(int n1, int n2) {
* println "$n1 + $n2 = ${n1 + n2}"
* n1 + n2
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* <p>
* Upon execution of this code:
*
* <pre>
* def instance = new MemoizedExample()
* println instance.sum(1, 2)
* println instance.sum(1, 2)
* println instance.sum(2, 3)
* println instance.sum(2, 3)
* </pre>
*
* The following will be output:
*
* <pre>
* 1 + 2 = 3
* 3
* 3
* 2 + 3 = 5
* 5
* 5
* </pre>
