Base class for caching objects (or associative arrays) that have a unique identifier. At the very least, derived classes need to implement the 'get_object_type' method, but usually it will be convenient to override some of the other protected members.
The actual caching is delegated to an instance of CacheEngine. By default WpCacheEngine is used, but a different engine can be used by either overriding the get_cache_engine_instance method or capturing the wc_object_cache_get_engine filter.
Objects are identified by ids that are either integers or strings. The actual cache keys passed to the cache engine will be prefixed with the object type and a random string. The 'flush' operation just forces the generation a new prefix and lets the old cached objects expire.
