    A CachingRegistry behaves generally like a registry;

    However, it keeps hard references to the last n registered objects,

    preventing them from being garbage collected (and finalized).

    This is useful for resources, which do not cost too much memory,

    but are expensive to allocate - a special candidate of this kind are

    XFonts. With a CachingRegistry, fonts are kept a bit longer alive

    and can therefore often be reused - even if temporarily unreferenced.

    This is kind of experimental.
