// Class description:
//
//    The classes contained in this header files are used by
//    G4Cache to store a TLS instance of the cached object.
//    These classes should not be used by client code, but
//    are used by one of the G4Cache classes.
//
//    G4Cache is a container of the cached value.
//    Not memory efficient, but CPU efficient (constant time access).
//    A different version with a map instead of a vector should be
//    memory efficient and less CPU efficient (log-time access).
//    If really a lot of these objects are used
//    we may want to consider the map version to save some memory.
//
//    These are simplified "split-classes" without any
//    copy-from-master logic. Each cached object is associated
//    a unique identified (an integer), that references an instance
//    of the cached value (of template type VALTYPE) in a
//    static TLS data structure.
//
//    In case the cache is used for a cached object the object class
//    has to provide a default constructor. Alternatively pointers to
//    objects can be stored in the cache and this limitation is removed
//    but explicit handling of memory (new/delete) of cached object becomes
//    client responsibility.
//
// Todos: - Understand if map based class can be more efficent than
//          vector one.
//        - Evaluate use of specialized allocator for TLS "new".
