/// We want configuration files to be "live" as much as possible.
/// Reading them every time is simplest, but caching solves a few problems:
/// - reading and parsing is cheap but not free (and happens on hot paths)
/// - we can ignore invalid data and use the old value (we may see truncated
/// compile_commands.json from non-atomic writers)
/// - we avoid reporting the same errors repeatedly
///
/// We still read and parse the data synchronously on demand, but skip as much
/// work as possible:
/// - if not enough wall-time has elapsed, assume the data is still up-to-date
/// - if we stat the file and it has the same mtime + size, don't read it
/// - obviously we only have to parse when we re-read the file
/// (Tracking OS change events is an alternative, but difficult to do portably.)
///
/// Caches for particular data (e.g. compilation databases) should inherit and:
/// - add mutable storage for the cached parsed data
/// - add a public interface implemented on top of read()

// - Parse() may be called (if the cache was not up-to-date)

// Parse(None) means the file doesn't exist.

// The lock is again held, so the value can be copied or used.
//
// If the last Parse is newer than FreshTime, we don't check metadata.
// - time_point::min() means we only do IO if we never read the file before
// - time_point::max() means we always at least stat the file
// - steady_clock::now() + seconds(1) means we accept 1 second of staleness
