// NewFrom also accepts an items map which will serve as the underlying map

// e.g. gob.Encode on c.Items()), or setting a starting size by passing in e.g.
// make(map[string]*Item, 500) to avoid repeat initial resizing of a map that's
// expected to reach a certain minimum size.

// make(map[string]*Item, 500) to improve startup performance when the cache

// Only the cache's methods synchronize access to this map, so it is not
// recommended to keep any references to the map around after creating a cache.
