/**
 * Creates a function which caches its result based on parameters.
 * It's possible to customize the caching behaviour using the second argument - [hash].
 *
 * Works well with long, expensive computations, such as API requests or array operations.
 *
 *
 * @param f - A function to be cached.
 * Can only be a PURE function, e.g. a function which always gives the same output, given the same input.
 * @param [hash] - Custom hash function for parameters. Accepts all of the function's parameters,
 * should return a string, which will then be used as a hash key.
 * @returns - A cached function,
 * virtually identical to the original.
