     *      o   @todo   Asked https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/377020/c-templates-combining-deduction-with-default-template-arguments 
     *                  to see how to improve

     *      o   @todo   maybe update https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/375257/how-can-i-aggregate-this-large-data-set-to-reduce-the-overhead-of-calculating-th/375303#375303 with this... if/when I get it working well...
     *
     *  \note   Memoizer works well wtih LRUCache, SynchronizedLRUCache, TimedCache, or SynchronizedTimeCache. But
     *          it does NOT work with CallerStalenessCache, because that cache requires the caller to specify an allowed staleness on each
     *          call.
     *
     *  \note   \em Thread-Safety   <a href="Thread-Safety.md">Same as (worse case of) underlying CACHE template argument, and argument function. Since the function will typically be fully reentrant, this comes down to the re-entrancy of the argument Cache. Used with SynchronizedLRUCache and a typical function, for example, this is fully re-entrant</a>
