I don't need or want an lru_cache. I want people, who want to use my
library, to be able to use the standard functools together with my lib.
So I want to become compatible with lru_cache.

Of course, I could provide a special version of an lru cache, which is
tuned to work well with my library, but I regard that solution as unelegant.
