/**
 * This is like a map, but the setters also take an expire time which 
 * will mean the items in the cache will be automatically deleted.  
 * Also, every so often (e.g. 2 minutes) all items are checked for expiration.
 * If no timetolive is set, it will default to 1 day.  The max time to live is
 * one day.
 * This is synchronized so that all access is safe.
 * 
 * Note, evictions are check for periodically, but only when the map is accessed (and even then only every few minutes).
 * so you can check for evictions externally, or clear the map if you are done with it.
