Description
It came up in discussion of JuliaDiff/ChainRules.jl#21
that it would be handing to have an object which when evaluted caches its value
(probably a Differentiable, but potentially not?)
that will let us handle things that have computations that might be shared by some of the multiple returned differntiables.
A possibly alternative is to just give this behavour to all Thunks

Research direction
Start by reading the discussion in JuliaDiff/ChainRules.jl#21 and the existing Thunks behavior described in this issue. Determine whether caching belongs in a separate Differentiable-like object or in all Thunks, then define the expected behavior for computations shared by multiple returned differentiables.
