Description
The Cache class uses Java Map-style put(), get(), remove() and contains(). Which is fine, but we should also offer Python-style syntactic sugar, so that we can do:
```
cache['key'] = 'value'
print cache['key']
if 'key' in cache:
print 'Key exists!'
for e in cache:
print e
```
etc. Have a look at the implementation of a Python map for more details, or one of the many custom map-like classes available for Python.
This is usually implemented by defining internal methods, such as:
```
def __getitem__(self, key):
return self.get(key)
def __setitem__(self, key, value):
self.put(key, value)
```
etc.
