+    //  This demonstrates how you can nest two caches to have a different expiry timeout
+    //  for successes and failures -- that is, a 'success' is cached for longer than
+    //  a failure is cached for.  This is handy for external resources that you want to
+    //  let fail (ie, don't want ts-retry-promise), but don't want to remember the failure
+    //  for anywhere near as long as the success.  For example, if I want to cache access
+    //  tokens:  if it fails I want to let the system retry the login every minute (in case
+    //  the creds are fixed), but if it succeeds the token is valid for 6 hours.  With a
+    //  simple cache, remembering a failure for 6 hours is super annoying to find out when
+    //  the resource is fixed.
