Why go through all of this trouble rather than just using the #JaneStreet `resource_cache`?

Well, a big part of it is that I wanted to build an actor system with #eio as I was learning #OCaml and that I think the actors will be useful elsewhere in the #JsonLD project :p

Another piece of it is that the docs on resource_cache ( https://ocaml.org/p/resource_cache/latest/doc/Resource_cache/index.html ) are not entirely clear and it roots into #async, which isn't a problem per se but I've been trying to stay as close to eio alone as possible.

More information than you ever wanted:

It's part of #JaneStreet's offerings. The stdlib on OCaml is highly anemic and so most people use alternatives, and Base/Core is one of the most popular and the one that is the most "functional feeling." This was especially important around concurrency, because OCaml didn't really have a "standard" multicore library until OCaml 5 (released late last year).

But to be honest the actual stdlib that does exist is… only marginally better.
