The cache key is generated by from the given ``*args`` and ``**kwargs``.
Items are expired from the cache after a given period of time.
Example:
>>> from time import sleep
>>> cache = TimedCache()
>>> cache.put("item", 'some', kw='args', timeout=3)
>>> # Fetch the item again, by providing the same args and kwargs.
>>> assert cache.get('some', kw='args') == "item"

>>> assert not cache.get('some', 'otherargs') == "item"

>>> # item to expire.
>>> sleep(2)
>>> assert cache.get('some', kw='args') == "item"
>>> # But waiting for longer does.
>>> sleep(2)

Warning:
At present, the cache can theoretically grow and grow, since entries
are not automatically purged, though in practice this is unlikely
since there are not that many different combinations of arguments in
the places where it is used in SoCo, so not that many different
cache entries will be created. If this becomes a problem,
use a thread and timer to purge the cache, or rewrite this to use
LRU logic!
