/**
* A builder for creating "Cache-Control" HTTP response headers.
*
* Adding Cache-Control directives to HTTP responses can significantly improve the client
* experience when interacting with a web application. This builder creates opinionated
* "Cache-Control" headers with response directives only, with several use cases in mind.
*
*
* - Caching HTTP responses with {@code CacheControl cc = CacheControl.maxAge(1, TimeUnit.HOURS)}
* will result in {@code Cache-Control: "max-age=3600"}
* - Preventing cache with {@code CacheControl cc = CacheControl.noStore()}
* will result in {@code Cache-Control: "no-store"}
* - Advanced cases like {@code CacheControl cc = CacheControl.maxAge(1, TimeUnit.HOURS).noTransform().cachePublic()}
* will result in {@code Cache-Control: "max-age=3600, no-transform, public"}
*
*
* Note that to be efficient, Cache-Control headers should be written along HTTP validators
* such as "Last-Modified" or "ETag" headers.
