-/** proxy
- * implements the proxy design pattern
- * 
- * uses: Registry::cache
- * 
- * algorithm:
- * - 1: proxy gets (Class::method, Arguments) and calculates a unique key
- * - 2: if a valid Cache for the triplete's key exists, it is served immediately
- * - 3: otherwise calls Class::Method(Arguments), caches then serves response
- * 
- * @param $class_method (array): a 2 (string) items array in the form
- *    : [ 'fully\qualifies\ClassName' , 'methodName' ]
- *    : Using the ClassName::class notation is strongly recommended.
- * @param $args: array of arguments (passed to the Class::Method())
- * @param $ttl: time (in sec) where the data will remain valid (not expired)
- * @param $options: bitwise flags*
- * ---
- * @return $data (mixed)
- * 
- * (*) option flags
- * all option flags represend non default behaviour of proxy
- * ---
- * PROXY_CACHE_ERRORS : cache value even if callback returns error
- * PROXY_IGNORE_CACHE : ignore if cache exist; get result from callback
- * PROXY_DO_NOT_CACHE : do not cache the result (even if from callback)
