[issue44310] lru_cache memory leak

@Wouter
Hmm, I thought most use cases of lru_cache benefit from strong references for predictable hit rates? I'm not an expert in this area, so I nosied-in someone else who is.

However, I noticed that the current doc doesn't mention the strong reference behavior anywhere. So I think your suggestion to amend the docs is an improvement, thanks!
