start/end are integers, range is then

The cache option we set up is called "name_range", indicating
a range of names for the Person class.
The `Person.addresses` collections are also cached. Its basically
another level of tuning here, as that particular cache option
can be transparently replaced with joinedload(Person.addresses).
The effect is that each Person and his/her Address collection
is cached either together or separately, affecting the kind of
SQL that emits for unloaded Person objects as well as the distribution
of data within the cache.
