    Use to cache values between server requests.
 
    The ``name`` should be unique and it's used to identify the cache.
    Usually ``<class_name>.<content_name>`` is used to make it unique.
 
-   The ``size_limit`` parameter can be used to limit the number of values
-   cached and it has ``1024`` as the default value.
-
    The ``duration`` parameter defines how long a cached value stays valid but
    if it is not set the value remains valid until it is cleared.

+   The maximal number of values cached.
