/**
* Retrieves an array of values for an array of keys.
*
* Using this function comes with potential performance implications.
* Not all cache stores will support get_many/set_many operations and in order to replicate this functionality will call
* the equivalent singular method for each item provided.
* This should not deter you from using this function as there is a performance benefit in situations where the cache store
* does support it, but you should be aware of this fact.
*
* @param array $keys The keys of the data being requested.
* Each key can be any structure although using a scalar string or int is recommended in the interests of performance.
* In advanced cases an array may be useful such as in situations requiring the multi-key functionality.
* @param int $strictness One of IGNORE_MISSING or MUST_EXIST.
* @return array An array of key value pairs for the items that could be retrieved from the cache.
* If MUST_EXIST was used and not all keys existed within the cache then an exception will be thrown.
* Otherwise any key that did not exist will have a data value of false within the results.
* @throws coding_exception
