/**
 * A 2-level cache that mainains both a transaction-local cache and
 * wraps a non-transactional (shared) cache.
 * <p>
 * It uses the <b>shared</b> <tt>SimpleCache</tt> for it's per-transaction
 * caches as these can provide automatic size limitations, etc.
 * <p>
 * Instances of this class <b>do not require a transaction</b>.  They will work
 * directly with the shared cache when no transaction is present.  There is
 * virtually no overhead when running out-of-transaction.
 * <p>
 * The first phase of the commit ensures that any values written to the cache in the
 * current transaction are not already superceded by values in the shared cache.  In
 * this case, the transaction is failed for concurrency reasons and will have to retry.
 * The second phase occurs post-commit.  We are sure that the transaction committed
 * correctly, but things may have changed in the cache between the commit and post-commit.
 * If this is the case, then the offending values are merely removed from the shared
 * cache.
 * <p>
 * When the cache is {@link #clear() cleared}, a flag is set on the transaction.
 * The shared cache, instead of being cleared itself, is just ignored for the remainder
 * of the tranasaction.  At the end of the transaction, if the flag is set, the
 * shared transaction is cleared <i>before</i> updates are added back to it.
 * <p>
 * Because there is a limited amount of space available to the in-transaction caches,
 * when either of these becomes full, the cleared flag is set.  This ensures that
 * the shared cache will not have stale data in the event of the transaction-local
 * caches dropping items.  It is therefore important to size the transactional caches
 * correctly.
