 * A cache for two-way lookups of database entities.  These are characterized by having a unique
 * key (perhaps a database ID) and a separate unique key that identifies the object.  If no cache
 * is given, then all calls are passed through to the backing DAO.
 * <p>
 * The keys must have good <code>equals</code> and </code>hashCode</code> implementations and
 * must respect the case-sensitivity of the use-case.
 * <p>
 * All keys will be unique to the given cache region, allowing the cache to be shared
 * between instances of this class.

 * Generics:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>K:  The database unique identifier.</li>
 *   <li>V:  The value stored against K.</li>
 *   <li>VK: The a value-derived key that will be used as a cache key when caching K for lookups by V.
 *           This can be the value itself if it is itself a good key.</li>
