+# memoization ##################################################################
+
+# How to use: Define 2 variables (the type you would pass to $(call):
+# `_NAME_main` and `_NAME_hash`.  Now, `_NAME_main` is the function getting
+# memoized, and _NAME_hash is a function that hashes the function arguments
+# into a string suitable for a variable name.
+#
+# Then, define the final function like:
+#
+#     NAME = $(foreach func,NAME,$(memoized))
+
+_main = $(_$(func)_main)
+_hash = _memoized_$(_$(func)_hash)
+memoized = $(if $($(_hash)),,$(eval $(_hash) := _ $(_main)))$(wordlist 2,$(words $($(_hash))),$($(_hash)))
+
 # utilities ####################################################################
 
 # murl = "mangled url"
 # spec = type|url|extra
 # file = type/murl/extra
 # base = type/murl
