// with better algorithmic complexity than the standard one, namely by
// preventing write locks of the entire cache when an item is added. As of the
// time of writing, the overhead of selecting buckets results in cache
// operations being about twice as slow as for the standard cache with small
// total cache sizes, and faster for larger ones.
//
// See cache_test.go for a few benchmarks.
