/// LRU Cache implementation using intrusive collections.
///
/// This cache uses an [`intrusive_collections::LinkedList`] to maintain the LRU order,
/// and an [`intrusive_collections::RBTree`] to allow for efficient lookups by key,
/// while maintaining only one allocation per key-value pair. Unfortunately, this
/// is a linked structure, so cache locality is likely poor, but memory usage
/// and flexibility are improved.
///
/// The cache is unbounded by default, but can be limited to a maximum capacity.
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use intrusive_lru_cache::LRUCache;
///
/// let mut lru: LRUCache<&'static str, &'static str> = LRUCache::default();
///
/// lru.insert("a", "1");
/// lru.insert("b", "2");
/// lru.insert("c", "3");
///
/// let _ = lru.get("b"); // updates LRU order
///
/// assert_eq!(lru.pop(), Some(("a", "1")));
/// assert_eq!(lru.pop(), Some(("c", "3")));
/// assert_eq!(lru.pop(), Some(("b", "2")));
/// assert_eq!(lru.pop(), None);
/// ```
///
/// # Notes
///
/// - The cache is not thread-safe, and requires external synchronization.
/// - Cloning the cache will preserve the LRU order.
