Overview
Support class for models to work with with a Solar_Cache object.
This cache works slightly differently from "normal" caches, in that it tracks a version number for the data in the source table. When you "delete" the cache, what really happens is that the version number increases. This makes it particularly effective for memcache and other memory-based caches, where old entries simply "drop out" when there's no more room.
This cache is not recommended for file-based caching. If you use a file-based cache here, be prepared to clear out old data versions on your own, as this system will not do it for you.
For background information on cache versioning, see the blog entry at » http://blog.leetsoft.com/2007/5/22/the-secret-to-memcached.
