As attribute of func:function, exslt:memoisation="yes" will mean that
memoisation is turned on only for this function.

In case it were allowed for func:function to have multiple func:result
children, then having exslt:memoisation on a specific func:result would
mean to memoise only this result (I'm not exactly sure if this is
something sensible ... ).

As it is, we could still have 
  exslt:memoisation="{$memoiseThis}"

on func:result and depending on the value of the variable, memoisation of
the result can be dynamically specified.
