 /**
+ * Prepare an element for caching based on a query. This smart caching strategy
+ * saves Drupal from querying and rendering to HTML when the underlying query is
+ * unchanged.
+ *
+ * Expensive queries should use the query builder to create the query and then
+ * call this function. Executing the query and formatting results should happen
+ * in a #pre_render callback.
+ *
+ * @param $query
+ *   A select query object as returned by db_select().
+ * @param $function
+ *   The name of the function doing this caching. A _pre_render suffix will be
+ *   added to this string and is also part of the cache key in
+ *   drupal_render_cache_set() and drupal_render_cache_get().
+ * @param $expire
+ *   The cache expire time, passed eventually to cache_set().
+ * @param $granularity
+ *   One or more granularity constants passed to drupal_render_cid_parts().
+ *
+ * @return
+ *   A renderable array with the following keys and values:
+ *   - #query: The passed in $query.
+ *   - #pre_render: $function with a _pre_render suffix.
+ *   - #cache: An associative array prepared for drupal_render_cache_set().
