V4.11 - Caching layer expanded

We’ve added a prefix configuration option to allow “namespacing” of the cached data.

For anyone who isn’t clear on what this library does, it’s an advanced tool for situations when you need to go get complex data and then display it one your page once it’s available.

A recent example of this is that one of our clients needed to determine the most recently published date from articles and items across multiple collections, and display that date in the header of every page - even when the page does not contain those collection lists. Calculating that every time would have made the site unacceptably slow.

This lib allows us to calculate it automatically when it’s first requested, and then cache it for the rest of the visit to maximize performance.
