/**
* Functions to get cache objects
*
+ * The word "cache" has two main dictionary meanings, and both
+ * are used in this factory class. They are:
+ *
+ * - a) Cache (the computer science definition).
+ * A place to store copies or computations on existing data for
+ * higher access speeds.
+ * - b) Storage.
+ * A place to store lightweight data that is not canonically
+ * stored anywhere else (e.g. a "hoard" of objects).
+ *
+ * The former should always use strongly consistent stores, so callers don't
+ * have to deal with stale reads. The later may be eventually consistent, but
+ * callers can use BagOStuff:READ_LATEST to see the latest available data.
+ *
+ * Primary entry points:
+ *
+ * - ObjectCache::newAccelerator( $fallbackType )
+ * Purpose: Cache.
+ * Stored only on the individual web server.
+ * Not associated with other servers.
+ *
+ * - wfGetMainCache()
+ * Purpose: Cache.
+ * Stored centrally within the local data-center.
+ * Not replicated to other DCs.
+ * Also known as $wgMemc. Configured by $wgMainCacheType.
+ *
+ * - ObjectCache::getMainWANInstance()
+ * Purpose: Cache.
+ * Stored in the local data-center's main cache (uses different cache keys).
+ * Delete events are broadcasted to other DCs. See WANObjectCache for details.
+ *
+ * - ObjectCache::getMainStashInstance()
+ * Purpose: Ephemeral storage.
+ * Stored centrally within the local data-center.
+ * Changes are replicated to other DCs (eventually consistent).
+ * To retrieve the latest value (e.g. not from a slave), use BagOStuff:READ_LATEST.
+ * This store may be subject to LRU style evictions.
+ *
+ * - wfGetCache( $cacheType )
+ * Get a specific cache type by key in $wgObjectCaches.
+ *
* @ingroup Cache
