I don't think so. Memoization appears as an afterthought in most of the
introductions I've seen. I'm not sure why; perhaps aesthetics or

I don't know, but I could imagine problems if two threads insert points
on the memo. I suppose there could be locking, or some sort of merge,
but I should either think about it, get advice from someone more
knowledgable, or pawn this task off. Probably all three.
