Commit Messages

We want to keep history, but for that to actually be useful we have
some rules on how to format our commit messages (relevant xkcd).

Please stick to these guidelines for commit messages:

  1. Separate subject from body with a blank line
  2. When fixing an issue, start your commit message with Fix #<ISSUE-NBR>:
  3. Limit the subject line to 72 characters
  4. Capitalize the subject line
  5. Do not end the subject line with a period
  6. Use the imperative mood in the subject line ("Add" instead of "Added")
  7. Wrap the body at 80 characters
  8. Use the body to explain what and why vs. how

Implement `memo(...)` function which caches its argument on first evaluation
and re-uses the cached value afterwards. The cache is placed next to the
method enclosing the memo(...) call.

`memo` is a member of package `compiletime`.
Maybe we should always set the positions of these generated definitions automatically from the symbol's span. It's an easy trap to fall into.
Stale symbol errors can happen when inspecting symbols while comparing
the trees before and after pickling.
... and also make it work on several nested levels together.
Restricting `entered` and `enteredAfter` to class members is more a trap to
fall into than a helpful check.
The new implementation does not optimize given aliases with pure paths as right hand sides to be
vals anymore. The reason is that even a pure path might be expensive to compute so we might want
the caching. And caching is cheap, so there's little downside. Therefore, it's attractive to go
with the simpler two way choice: leave RHS as is, or wrap it in a memo.
An inline given instance with a splice as right hand side should not be cached.
