What's this?

build_through_record(record) private

We temporarily cache through record that has been build, because if we build a through record in build_record and then subsequently call insert_record, then we want to use the exact same object.

However, after insert_record has been called, we clear the cache entry because we want it to be possible to have multiple instances of the same record in an association
