+This plugin gives you access to a variety of systems for caching

-Amongst it's features are support for multiple backends, segmentation based on
-component or controller, keyspace partitioning and so forth, in various sub

+These cache operations will call L<choose_cache_backend> with %meta, and
+then call C<set>, C<get>, C<remove>, or C<compute> on the resulting backend
+object.
+
+If the backend object does not support C<compute> then we emulate it by
+calling L<cache_get>, and if the returned value is undefined we call the passed
+code reference, stores the returned value with L<cache_set>, and then returns
+the value. Inspired by L<CHI>.
=item choose_cache_backend %meta
-Select a backend object. This should return undef if no specific backend was
-selected - it's caller will handle getting C<default_cache_backend> on it's own.

=head2 Introduction
-Whenever you set or retrieve a key you may specify additional meta data that

+Whenever you set or retrieve a key you may specify additional metadata
+that will be used to select a specific backend.
This metadata is very freeform, and the only key that has any meaning by
default is the C<backend> key which can be used to explicitly choose a backend
by name.
-The C<choose_cache_backend> method can be overridden in order to facilitate
-more intelligent backend selection. For example,
-L<Catalyst::Plugin::Cache::Choose::KeyRegexes> overrides that method to select
-a backend based on key regexes.

-In order to avoid specifying %meta over and over again you may call C<cache> or
-C<curry_cache> with %meta once, and get back a B<curried cache object>. This
-object responds to the methods C<get>, C<set> and C<remove>, by appending it's
-captured meta data and delegating them to C<cache_get>, C<cache_set> and
-C<cache_remove>.
