  # Statement cache is used to cache a single statement in order to avoid creating the AST again.
  # Initializing the cache is done by passing the statement in the initialization block:
  #
  #   cache = ActiveRecord::StatementCache.new do
  #     Book.where(name: "my book").limit(100)
  #   end
  #
  # The cached statement is executed by using the +execute+ method:
  #
  #   cache.execute
  #
  # The relation returned by the block is cached, and for each +execute+ call the cached relation gets duped.
  # Database is queried when +to_a+ is called on the relation.
