* Cache Data Source.
*
* The cache data source interface can be implemented by any class within Moodle.
* If implemented then the class can be reference in a cache definition and will be used to load information that cannot be
* retrieved from the cache. As part of its retrieval that information will also be loaded into the cache.
*
* This allows developers to created a complete cache solution that can be used through code ensuring consistent cache
* interaction and loading. Allowing them in turn to centralise code and help keeps things more easily maintainable.
*
* Can be implemented by any class.
