 This package provides you with a simple PHP trait, which adds [memoization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoization) to your classes! It's inspired by spaties once package, but it is up to **100% faster**!
 
+Note: As this is a trait it only runs in class contexts and not statically.

 For lower php versions, it will run **once per combination** of argument values the ***containing method*** receives.
 
 ```php
-class MyClass

 As described above, spaties once package uses the arguments of the ***containing method*** for the **once per combination** idea.
 We think this feels a bit unintuitive and in certain circumstances will affect performance. So we use the `use` variables of the closure as the **once per combination** key. As a fallback for php8.0 and lower or if you like/need to, we also let you fully self define your **once per combination** key in a second optional parameter of the closure.
