An implementation of a cache in instance variables

Guillaume Larcheveque
Hi,

at Synectique, we are using cache for lots of projects and for now we were always using another instance variable or a dictionary to store many. It is complicated to maintain and we are always reinventing the wheel.

That's why i created a first implementation (very naive but functional, documented and tested) of a cache.

It is available here (with usage explication):

and you can get it by doing:

Metacello new
       smalltalkhubUser: 'GuillaumeLarcheveque' project: 'SmallCache';
       configuration: 'SmallCache';
       version: #development;
       load

Tell me if you are interested in it or if you have ideas about it.
