/*******************************************************************************

        A gateway to the network cache. From here you can easily place
        IMessage objects into the network cluster, copy them and remove 
        them. A cluster cache is spread out across many servers within 
        the network. Each cache entry is associated with a 'channel', 
        which is effectively the name of a cache instance within the
        cluster. See ComboCache also. The basic procedure is so:
        ---
        import tango.net.cluster.NetworkCache;
        import tango.net.cluster.tina.Cluster;

        auto cluster = new Cluster (...);
        auto cache = new NetworkCache (cluster, ...);

        cache.put (...);
        cache.get ();
        cache.invalidate (...);
        ---

        Note that any content placed into the cache must implement the
        IMessage interface, and must be enrolled with the Registry, as
        it may be frozen and thawed as it travels around the network.

                Cluster lookups will *not* place new content into the

                the provided network message; behaviour is undefined
                where a delegate simply returns a message without the
                appropriate cloning steps.
