-- Memoizes a function or callable table.
-- Supports any number of arguments and return values.
-- If the optional parameter `simple` is set, then the memoizer will use a faster implementation, but this is only compatible with one argument and one return value. If `simple` is set, additional arguments will be accepted, but this should only be done if those arguments will always be the same.

-- Certain potential argument values can't be used as table keys, so we use placeholders for them instead: e.g. f("foo", nil, "bar") would be memoized at f["foo"][nil_]["bar"][args]. These values are:
-- nil.
-- -0, which is equivalent to 0 in most situations, but becomes "-0" on conversion to string; it also behaves differently in some operations (e.g. 1/a evaluates to inf if a is 0, but -inf if a is -0).
-- NaN and -NaN, which are the only values for which n == n is false; they only seem to differ on conversion to string ("nan" and "-nan").
