+1 from me - looks much better without the while loops indeed :-)

Do you know what the maximum cache limit that will be set with FIFOCache::setMaxCost \
is? I'm asking because FIFOCache::find is linear in the cache size. It might be a \
problem if this is potentially unlimited, but if it's never much more than the \
default value of 256, then it probabaly doesn't matter much, because the runtime cost \
of re-generating the cached values is probably much larger.

FIFOCache looks like a simple solution to the problems that Coverity found with \
QCache (at least if the max cost is bounded) - nice!
