The more complicated your function signatures get, the more worthwhile
it will be to use the memoize package. But for, say, unary functions
you can easily use a hash table:
#lang racket
(define read-conf
(let ([h (make-hash)])
(λ (arg)
(hash-ref! h
arg
(thunk ...)))))
You can extend this to multiple arguments by using lists as keys, if
you want. Of course, you need to make sure that `equal?` is usefully
defined on your argument types.
