/**
 * This cache storage implementation stores arrays and scalar values
 * (int, float, string, bool) in files on your hard disk as PHP code. This makes
 * the restoring of cache data extremly fast, since the stored data is simply
 * included and parsed by the PHP interpreter. It takes its base methods from
 * the extended storage base class {@link ezcCacheStorageFile}.
 *
 * Another storage class with a similar approach exists,
 * {@link ezcCacheStorageFileEvalArray}. This class is uses exactly the same 
 * mechanisms as ezcCacheStorageFileArray, except that is does not simply
 * require the stored source code, but uses eval() to restore the data.
 *
 * Main purpose behind these 2 similar implementations is the following:
 * Most byte code caches are capable of caching code for included files,
 * but not for eval()ed strings. Therefore the *Evalarray class will 
 * permit you to get your cached data not cached a second time by an
 * accellerator like APC, whereas the *Array class will permit you to 
 * explicitly allow this. ATTENTION: If you do not use a byte code cache
 * with your PHP installation, the use of ezcCacheStorageFileArray is
 * recommende over the usage of ezcCacheStorageEvalarray.
 *
 * For example code of using a cache storage, see {@link ezcCacheManager}.
 *
 * The Cache package contains several other implementations of 
 * {@link ezcCacheStorageFile}. As there are:
 *
 * - ezcCacheStorageFileEvalArray
 * - ezcCacheStorageFilePlain
