-Caching instances via ``related_name``
---------------------------------------
-
-``cache_relation`` adds utility methods to a model to obtain ``related_name``
-instances via the cache.
-
-Usage
-~~~~~
-
-::
-
-    from django.db import models
-    from django.contrib.auth.models import User
-
-    class Foo(models.Model):
-        user = models.OneToOneField(
-            User,
-            primary_key=True,
-            related_name='foo',
-        )
-
-        name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
-
-    cache_relation(User.foo)
-
-::
-
-    >>> user = User.objects.get(pk=1)
-    >>> user.foo_cache # Cache miss - hits the database
-    <Foo: >
-    >>> user = User.objects.get(pk=1)
-    >>> user.foo_cache # Cache hit - no database access
-    <Foo: >
-    >>> user = User.objects.get(pk=2)
-    >>> user.foo # Regular lookup - hits the database
-    <Foo: >
-    >>> user.foo_cache # Special-case: Will not hit cache or database.
-    <Foo: >
-
-Accessing ``user_instance.foo_cache`` (note the "_cache" suffix) will now
-obtain the related ``Foo`` instance via the cache. Accessing the original
-``user_instance.foo`` attribute will perform the lookup as normal.
-
-Invalidation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Upon saving (or deleting) the instance, the cache is cleared. For example::
-
-    >>> user = User.objects.get(pk=1)
-    >>> foo = user.foo_cache # (Assume cache hit from previous session)
-    >>> foo.name = "New name"
-    >>> foo.save() # Cache is cleared on save
-    >>> user = User.objects.get(pk=1)
-    >>> user.foo_cache # Cache miss.
-    <Foo: >
-
-Manual invalidation may also be performed using the following methods::
-
-    >>> user_instance.foo_cache_clear()
-    >>> User.foo_cache_clear_fk(user_instance_pk)
-
-Manual invalidation is required if you use ``.update()`` methods which the
-``post_save`` and ``post_delete`` hooks cannot intercept.
-
-Support
-~~~~~~~
-
-``cache_relation`` currently only works with ``OneToOneField`` fields. Support
-for regular ``ForeignKey`` fields is planned.
