	/// An AccessExpireCache caches entries for a fixed time period (per default 10 minutes).
	/// Entries expire when they are not accessed with get() during this time period. Each access resets
	/// the start time for expiration.
	/// Be careful when using an AccessExpireCache. A cache is often used
	/// like cache.has(x) followed by cache.get x). Note that it could happen
	/// that the "has" call works, then the current execution thread gets descheduled, time passes,
	/// the entry gets invalid, thus leading to an empty SharedPtr being returned 
	/// when "get" is invoked.
