/**
 *  @brief Wraps a function (which accepts an input/output parameter pair and
 *      returns an error log handle) with a memoizer
 *
 *  @par Detailed Description:
 *      This template wraps a candidate function with a memoizer, a facility
 *      which caches the result for every unique input.  If an input arrives
 *      that already has a cached result, the result is returned without the
 *      overhead of calling the function, thereby increasing performance.
 *      See warning section for caveats.
 *
 *  @warning: Must only be used if:
 *      - Called only in single-threaded context (cache is not mutex protected)
 *      - All possible inputs are guaranteed to be unique
 *      - For a given input, the result is always the same
 *
 *  @tparam InputType  The memoized function's input type
 *  @tparam OutputType The memoized function's output type
 *  @param[in] i_fn Function pointer referencing the function to memoize
 *  @param[in] i_in Input to the memoized function
 *  @param[out] o_out Output of the memoized function.  The memoizer does not
 *      alter the output on failure; Caller should default the value as
 *      appropriate to anticipate that case.
 *  @return Error log indicating success or failure
 *  @retval NULL Result was already computed for the given input and was
 *      returned in the output parameter -otherwise- real function returned
 *      a value that was cached and returned in the output parameter
 *  @retval !NULL Call to memoized function failed.  Result was not cached and
 *      the output value remains unchanged
 *  @note: Could be improved to return a lambda function and use
 *      std::function in place of function pointers if std::function was
 *      implemented
