Yeah, it's nice. My solution is older and thus didn't use some of the 
new fancy stuff like define_method so is rather bloated. I also use 
separate caches for each class so that multiple methods with same name 
can be memoized, and allow different caching policies (BoundedLRUCache 
etc), but it's easy to extend your solution to cover that...

I'll try to find a new home for the old package (and update RAA and 
other links to it) just in case...
