A collection of inexpensive functions for pulling small amounts of data from core
Drupal objects, nodes, users, files and comments. Sometimes you need to get a small
piece of data, for example, the author id of a node, many times over in a page.
Drupal's API provides node_load, which is great, but it can get a bit expensive
if you have to call it hundreds of times.
