/**
 * Class that optimises programs one step at a time which allows it to store and later reuse the
 * results of the intermediate steps.
 *
 * The cache keeps track of the current round number and associates newly created entries with it.
 * @a startRound() must be called at the beginning of a round so that entries that are too old
 * can be purged. The current strategy is to store programs corresponding to all possible prefixes
 * encountered in the current and the previous rounds. Entries older than that get removed to
 * conserve memory.
 *
 * @a gatherStats() allows getting statistics useful for determining cache effectiveness.
 *
 * The current strategy does speed things up (about 4:1 hit:miss ratio observed in my limited
 * experiments) but there's room for improvement. We could fit more useful programs in
 * the cache by being more picky about which ones we choose.
 *
 * There is currently no way to purge entries without starting a new round. Since the programs
 * take a lot of memory, this may lead to the cache eating up all the available RAM if sequences are
 * long and programs large. A limiter based on entry count or total program size would be useful.
