   I think the right idea is to insert each cached values into two
   structures: a weak hashtable so that the value can be found fast, and 
   another global FIFO type structure that will start to drop oldest values when
   there is not enough memory. For efficiency, the FIFO structure will 
   hold blocks (arrays). As the FIFO structure is global and will have to
   hold different types of data, storing Obj.t seems to be apropriate.
   
Why don't you use a variant type?

Bye,

Hendrik
