Release notes:

1.1.2 Fixing Cache Clear of prefixed keys

• When you do a Clear the key value was supposed to allow passing a prefix string that would clear all entries that start with that prefix. It does this by appending a period (the previous default KeySeparator) to the key given and clearing anything that starts with that prefix. Now that the KeySeparator is settable, we have to ask the IBaseCacheKey for the separator to append so that we get the correct value (currently a forward slash).
• This is a Breaking Change because I need to expose the PolicyRepository on the IBaseCacheKey interface. If you are not using your own implementations of IBaseCacheKey that don't derive from BaseCacheKey, you will have to provide that gettor.

1.1.1 Making it faster

• Made the Get method use as T instead of a (T) cast so we don't throw when a cache key calls for the wrong kind of object in the cache (e.g. you stored a IFoo, but the cache key being passed is associated with an IBar)
• The interal Log method now passes the detail information as a delegate so we don't bother doing the ToString() and concatenation unless the DebugLog flag is true.
• The internal calls to Log are now Conditional on the DEBUG constant when building, so we don't even attempt to call the method unless you're building from source in DEBUG

1.1 Adding features

• Added Do and Do<TRet> for backing methods that don't return elements that can be cached (void or int returns for example).
• Breaking Change Added IBaseCacheKey.BuildKey and IBaseCacheKey.BuildPolicyKey for use by implementations of cache keys and exposed the standard behavior in ```BaseCacheKey`` so the standard way of doing things can easily be done.
• Breaking Change Removed the N overloads of BaseCacheKey.BuildKey and BaseCacheKey.BuildPolicyKey and added a params string[] version so we can pass any number of strings to be joined.
• Breaking Change AddOrUpdate does not enroll the new element in the cache because we really don't have a good method of knowing the best backing method to refill. Rather, we now just Clear the cache entries.
