    The reason I wrote this solution was to ask the obvious 
    question about memoisation. 

And are you going to educate us now Dimitre?

Google gives us:
<quote>
(programming)	memo function - (Or "memoised function") A function that
remembers which arguments it has been called with and the result returned
and, if called with the same arguments again, returns the result from its
memory rather than recalculating it.

Memo functions were invented by Professor Donald Michie of Edinburgh
University. The idea was further developed by Robin Popplestone in his Pop2
language long before it was ever worked into LISP.</quote>

Is this the 'tunnelling effect' that Mike has spoken of previously?
Whereby params are passed on to called templates without explicit
specification in the template?
