  Description     : R package: Fast and Light-Weight Caching of Objects and Results

Memoization can be used to speed up repetitive and computational expensive
function calls.  The first time a function that implements memoization is
called the results are stored in a cache memory.  The next time the function is
called with the same set of parameters, the results are momentarily retrieved
from the cache avoiding repeating the calculations.  With this package, any R
object can be cached in a key-value storage where the key can be an arbitrary
set of R objects.  The cache memory is persistent (on the file system).

Dependency of r-cran-pscbs, will be team maintained by the Debian Med team
