	/// An ExpireCache caches entries for a fixed time period (per default 10 minutes).
	/// Entries expire independently of the access pattern, i.e. after a constant time.
	/// If you require your objects to expire after they were not accessed for a given time
	/// period use a Poco::AccessExpireCache.
	///
	/// Be careful when using an ExpireCache. 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.
