 * Memoize a given function by caching the computed result.
 * The cache of a memoized function can be cleared by deleting the `cache`
 * property of the function.
 *
 * @param {function} fn                     The function to be memoized.
 *                                          Must be a pure function.
 * @param {function(args: Array)} [hasher]  A custom hash builder.
 *                                          Is JSON.stringify by default.
 * @return {function}                       Returns the memoized function
