Types concerning the values stored in cache.

Value is the type stored in the cache.

ValueRef is the type of a reference to a value as it is returned by createRaw(), getRaw() and getOrCreateRaw().

For values of fixed size (not dynamic, ValueSize != 0) createRaw() and getOrCreateRaw() return a dynamic array which slices to the value in the cache and therefore has always a length of ValueSize. getRaw() returns either such a slice or null.

For values of dynamic size createRaw() and getOrCreateRaw() return a pointer to a Value struct instance while getRaw() returns either a pointer or null. The Value struct wraps a dynamic array and provides access via struct methods.
