return a cache key. The cache key is a tuple which can contain any series of objects that are hashable and also identifies this object uniquely within the presence of a larger SQL expression or statement, for the purposes of caching the resulting query. The cache key should be based on the SQL compiled structure that would ultimately be produced. That is, two structures that are composed in exactly the same way should produce the same cache key; any difference in the structures that would affect the SQL string or the type handlers should result in a different cache key. The cache key returned by this method is an instance of :class:`.CacheKey`, which consists of a tuple representing the cache key, as well as a list of :class:`.BindParameter` objects which are extracted from the expression. While two expressions that produce identical cache key tuples will themselves generate identical SQL strings, the list of :class:`.BindParameter` objects indicates the bound values which may have different values in each one; these bound parameters must be consulted in order to execute the statement with the correct parameters. a :class:`_expression.ClauseElement` structure that does not implement a :meth:`._gen_cache_key` method and does not implement a :attr:`.traverse_internals` attribute will not be cacheable; when such an element is embedded into a larger structure, this method will return None, indicating no cache key is available.
