+// The cache is GC-friendly in the sense that the keys do not
+// indefinitely prevent the garbage collector from collecting them.
+// Instead, at the start of each GC, the cache is cleared entirely. That

+// This means that clients need to be able to cope with cache entries
+// disappearing, but it also means that clients don't need to worry about
+// cache entries keeping the keys from being collected.
