Cache Query objects when possible

Description

Currently Django constructs the Query objects every time you query the database.
This is often unnecessary and can be avoided.
I started memoizing some of the Query objects that the manager creates but I encountered some test failures related to prefetch_related querysets.
This is the memoized manager implementation https://github.com/thedrow/django/blob/feature/memoized-manager/django/db/models/manager.py#L244
I'm not sure it should be in a separate class but I created another one because of some of the required API changes.
Can anyone explain the test failures?

Haven't looked in the tests code, so I can only guess that the tests fail because you're getting the memoized "all" query instead of one that should be limited by a FK (for the prefetched query).

This hints at a flaw in your design: You can't memoize based only on the call from the manager. You need to take account of how the manager was constructed. Also, on first reading your code, I thought it odd that you'd choose to put memoization on the manager class rather than the queryset class.

My approach doesn't work and I don't have an alternative.
I think this should go back to the drawing board.
Any thoughts on how this should be implemented?
