Syntactic sugar with lots of warnings. The difference between collections and a cache is that one instance of the former is usually used to store one kind of objects, while one instance of the latter is (speculation) usually used to store very different objects. So, while warnings in the case of collections are usually justified, here they are just a nuisance that will probably do more harm than good.
