packagetw_get_p_wide() offers a more efficient
way to get wide data frames with a number of properties (with relative
labels) for a set of Wikidata id; it also facilitates collapsing values

for missing data if not all are present in given data frametw_index_cache_item() and
tw_index_cache_search(). These should be significantly
improved performance on the caching backend, but these are currently
introduced as an opt-in as they have not been thoroughly tested with
different database drivers. Running them once drastically improve
performance with MySql when the cache goes into million of items. See

They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
