Maybe this is impossible though.. ?\n\nPotential design:\ngive the cache an object and the way to re-generate the object when needed... cache stores both, returns an object that then accesses the object and knows how to re-create it if needed. This seems maybe too dangerous though..?\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/hinerm","@type":"Person","name":"hinerm"},"datePublished":"2015-01-27T21:48:52.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":18},"url":"https://github.com/142/scijava-common/issues/142"}
