* Cache\CacheItemPoolInterface object.
*
* The Cache\CacheItemInterface object encapsulates the storage and retrieval of
* cache items. Each Cache\CacheItemInterface is generated by a
* Cache\CacheItemPoolInterface object, which is responsible for any required
* setup as well as associating the object with a unique Key.
* Cache\CacheItemInterface objects MUST be able to store and retrieve any type
* of PHP value defined in the Data section of the specification.
*
* Calling Libraries MUST NOT instantiate Item objects themselves. They may only
* be requested from a Pool object via the getItem() method. Calling Libraries
* SHOULD NOT assume that an Item created by one Implementing Library is
* compatible with a Pool from another Implementing Library.
