// FIXME: This wrapper could benefit from local static variables, in which case

/// Thread-safe lazily cached methods.
///
/// The `lazy` annotation in Swift does not result in a thread-safe accessor,
/// which can make it an easy source of hard-to-find concurrency races. This
/// class defines a wrapper designed to be used as an alternative for
/// `lazy`. Example usage:
///
/// ```
/// class Foo {
///     var bar: Int { return barCache.getValue(self) }
///     var barCache = LazyCache(someExpensiveMethod)
///
///     func someExpensiveMethod() -> Int { ... }
/// }
/// ```
