#OhDearGodPleaseNotAnotherClassWithFastInTheName
Please, please, please lets end the madness of subjective adjectives in class
names ... if it's an LFU cache wrapped around a "hawtdb" why don't we just call
it "HawtDbLFUCache" ?

we should not be adding new names with "Fast" in front of them - it does
nothing to help the user understand the value of the class.

Maybe we should also rename these Fast*Cache to Concurrent*Cache so that people
don't think that they are better than their non Fast alternatives in every way.

I would much rather rename FastLRUCache to something else (with a deprecated
FastLRUCache stub subclass still provided for config backcompat) then see any
more a new Fast*Foo class.

> Priority: Minor

> I find it a little disturbing that LFUCache shares most of its behavior (not
> strictly bounded size, good at concurrent reads, slow at writes unless
> eviction is performed in a separate thread) with FastLRUCache while it sounds
> like it is the LFU equivalent of LRUCache (strictly bounded size,
> synchronized reads, fast writes) so I'd like to rename it to FastLFUCache.
