+/// Cache results of other extractors.
+///
+/// `Cached` wraps another extractor and caches its result in [request extensions].
+///
+/// This is useful if you have a tree of extractors that share common sub-extractors that
+/// you only want to run once, perhaps because they're expensive.
+///
+/// The cache purely type based so you can only cache one value of each type. The cache is also
+/// local to the current request and not reused across requests.
+///
+/// # Example
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// use axum_extra::extract::Cached;
+/// use axum::{
+///     async_trait,
+///     extract::{FromRequest, RequestParts},
+///     body::{self, BoxBody},
+///     response::IntoResponse,
+///     http::{StatusCode, Response},
+/// };
+///
+/// #[derive(Clone)]
+/// struct Session { /* ... */ }
+///
+/// #[async_trait]
+/// impl<B> FromRequest<B> for Session
+/// where
+///     B: Send,
+/// {
+///     type Rejection = (StatusCode, String);
+///
+///     async fn from_request(req: &mut RequestParts<B>) -> Result<Self, Self::Rejection> {
+///         // load session...
+///         # unimplemented!()
+///     }
+/// }
+///
+/// struct CurrentUser { /* ... */ }
+///
+/// #[async_trait]
+/// impl<B> FromRequest<B> for CurrentUser
+/// where

+///         // loading a `CurrentUser` requires first loading the `Session`
+///         //
+///         // by using `Cached<Session>` we avoid extracting the session more than
+///         // once, in case other extractors for the same request also loads the session
