/// Generic implementation of object pooling pattern with predefined pool size limit. The main

/// further recycling.
///
/// Notes:
/// 1) it is not the goal to keep all returned objects. Pool is not meant for storage. If there
/// is no space in the pool, extra returned objects will be dropped.
///
/// 2) it is implied that if object was obtained from a pool, the caller will return it back in
/// a relatively short time. Keeping checked out objects for long durations is ok, but
/// reduces usefulness of pooling. Just new up your own.
///
/// Not returning objects to the pool in not detrimental to the pool's work, but is a bad practice.
/// Rationale:
/// If there is no intent for reusing the object, do not use pool - just use "new".
