cache

Uses disposable ETS tables to apply eviction and quota policies at segment level, destroying the oldest table when criteria are exceeded, which outperforms traditional timestamp indexing as noted in the Inspiration section.

Provides both synchronous and asynchronous variants of operations (e.g., get and get_), allowing non-blocking cache access to improve throughput in high-performance Erlang systems.

Supports apply, append, and prepend functions to modify cached elements directly, with helper functions for accumulators and lists, reducing extra I/O for updates.

Works natively in Erlang clusters with global or local cache instances, enabling cache synchronization across nodes as described in the distributed environment section.
