Overview ¶
The implementation borrows heavily from SmallLRUCache (originally by Nathan Schrenk). The object maintains a doubly-linked list of elements in the When an element is accessed it is promoted to the head of the list, and when space is needed the element at the tail of the list (the least recently used element) is evicted. Keys can be of anytype for which equality is defined.
