+/** 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)
