/**
* END COMMENTS ON EXAMPLE 2:
* The whole procedure seems rather complicated, doesn't it?
* The point is that PHP references is a mysterious and complicated thing.
* multiCache allows accessing the cached object from it's constructor by
* simply creating a copy of it, but keeping the internal parameters linked.
* I borrowed the idea from rick_php_net@roundeye.net comment in the PHP
* manual on page:
* "References inside the constructor"
* http://lt.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.newref.php
* If you'll find this class helpfull - please let me know :]
