Andrew Clegg <a...@pml.ac.uk> added the comment: Hi,
I used a global name for a couple of reasons: it is consistent with the cache itself and the size of the cache being defined in the same place; and because I wanted to allow the value to be modified by users. I used the leading underscore to give a weak indication of internal use - for most users, it can be completely ignored. If someone wanted to modify the maximum size of the cache however, this would be a reasonable and safe thing for them to do.
