    # Creates virtual classes for each model, to implementing a type of caching. So that object instantiation for searchlogic searches is cached. This is lazy, meaning
    # it will only cache when it needs. So the first instantion will be much slow than the following ones. This is cached in the RAM, so if the process is restarted the caching is cleared.

        # names specific to models. It provides caching and helps a lot with performance.
