136 * nl_dump(params, "foo %d ", my_obj->foo);
137 *
138 * // One of the big advantages of this concept is that it allows for
139 * // standardized comparisons which make it trivial for caches to
140 * // identify unique objects by use of unified comparison functions.
141 * // In order for it to work, your object implementation must provide
142 * // a comparison function and define a list of attributes which
143 * // combined together make an object unique.
