         * It's very unlikely that any loaded Futures class will see getChecked called with more
         * than a handful of exceptions. But it seems prudent to set a cap on how many we'll cache.
         * This avoids out-of-control memory consumption, and it keeps the cache from growing so
         * large that doing the lookup is noticeably slower than redoing the work would be.
