# Throughout the Prawn codebase, repeated calculations which can benefit from caching are made
# In some cases, caching and reusing results can not only save CPU cycles but also greatly
# reduce memory requirements
# But at the same time, we don't want to throw away thread safety
# We have two interchangeable thread-safe cache implementations:
class SynchronizedCache
# As an optimization, this could access the hash directly on VMs with a global interpreter lock (like MRI)
