Simple, filesystem-based caching.

0. Pick a directory to store caches in.

   By default, it's the `./compiled/with-cache` directory.

1. Wrap "expensive" computations in a thunk, call the thunk via `with-cache`.

2. Results of the expensive computation are automatically stored and retrieved.

Example:

```

(with-cache "fact42.rktd"

  (λ () (factorial 42)))

(with-cache "pict.rktd"

  (λ () (standard-fish 100 50))

  #:read deserialize

  #:write serialize)

```
