-Decorator for views that tries getting the page from the cache and
-populates the cache if the page isn't in the cache yet.
-
-The cache is keyed by the URL and some data from the headers. Additionally
-there is the key prefix that is used to distinguish different cache areas
-in a multi-site setup. You could use the sites.get_current().domain, for
-example, as that is unique across a Django project.

-Additionally, all headers from the response's Vary header will be taken into
-account on caching -- just like the middleware does.
