A variant of the snippet posted by Jeff Wheeler at
http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/109/
Caches a function, using the function and its arguments as the key, and the
return value as the value saved. It passes all arguments on to the
function, as it should.
The decorator itself takes a length argument, which is the number of
seconds the cache will keep the result around.
