In the case of our dependency `get_settings()`, the function doesn't even take any arguments, so it always returns the same value.

That way, it behaves almost as if it was just a global variable. But as it uses a dependency function, then we can override it easily for testing.

   * penalty of applying the batches is spread across threads so that the amortized cost is slightly
   * higher than performing just the operation without enforcing the capacity constraint.
   *
   * This implementation uses a per-segment queue to record a memento of the additions, removals,
   * and accesses that were performed on the map. The queue is drained on writes and when it exceeds
   * its capacity threshold.
   *

 * dispersion is easily corrected using a secondary hash function (which all reasonable hash table
 * implementations in Java use). For the many uses of hash functions beyond data structures,
 * however, {@code Object.hashCode} almost always falls short -- hence this library.
