What do you think about lazily allocating the array to hold the objs
for the cache when we go to top up the cache?
We already have to do error handling there and the allocation for the
array to hold pointers for the cache objs will be small relative to
filling up the cache.
It seems like this introduces a lot of complexity to preserve the
static / stack allocation of that array in an increasingly dynamic
context.
