<P>
An interface that indicates the implementing class can be cached for some
 period of time. Implementing classes will be stored in a
 <code>HashDecay</code> instance. Each instantiating class must create its
 own <code>HashDecay</code> instance and return a reference to it through 
 the <code>getCache</code> method.

 The update time is what is used by the <code>HasDecay</code> to determine
 when an object will decay and be discarded.
