+  # 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 yield is cached, and for each +execute+ call the cached relation gets duped.
+  # Database is queried when +to_a+ is called on the relation.
