/** @defgroup grp_rt_memcache   RTMemCache - Memory Object Allocation Cache
 * @ingroup grp_rt
 *
 * Optimized allocation, initialization, freeing and destruction of memory
 * objects of the same kind and size.  Objects are constructed once, then
 * allocated and freed one or more times, until finally destructed together with
 * the cache (RTMemCacheDestroy).  It's expected behavior, even when pfnCtor is
 * NULL, that the user will be store information that should be persistent
 * across RTMemCacheFree calls.
 *
 * The objects are zeroed prior to calling pfnCtor. For obvious reasons, the
 * objects are not touched by the cache after that, so that RTMemCacheAlloc will
 * return the object in the same state as when it as handed to RTMemCacheFree.
 *
 * @todo A callback for the reuse (at alloc time) might be of interest.
