** Interface to cached monitors. Cached monitors use an address to find a

** object without preallocating a monitor for all objects.
**
** A hash table is used to quickly map addresses to individual monitors
** and the system automatically grows the hash table as needed.
**
** Cache monitors are about 5 times slower to use than uncached monitors.
