I don't think so.  Memoization appears as an afterthought in most of the 
  introductions I've seen.  I'm not sure why; perhaps aesthetics or 
efficiency.

There are those whou would disagree with you.  I am not one of them!

I don't know, but I could imagine problems if two threads insert points 
on the memo. I suppose there could be locking, or some sort of merge, 
but I should either think about it, get advice from someone more 
knowledgable, or pawn this task off.  Probably all three.
