    ''' Batches are sets of operations where certain queries for users may be
    repeated, but are also unlikely change within the boundaries of the batch.

    Batches are keyed per-user. You can mark the edge of the batch with the
    ``batch`` context manager. If you nest calls to ``batch``, only the
    outermost call will have the effect of ending the batch.

    Batches store results for functions wrapped with ``memoise``. These results
    for the user are flushed at the end of the batch.

    If a return for a memoised function has a callable attribute called
    ``end_batch``, that attribute will be called at the end of the batch.
