Description

I've stumbled upon old thread on locator and cached_location_t. There are some interesting explanations which I believe is worth to add to Boost.GIL docs.

Particularly, I believe the following Lubomir's clarification should be added as first paragraph documenting cached location:

Cached location is meant to be used as a quick way to get to neighborhood pixels if you need to read or write a neighboring location frequently relative to a given locator.

Currently, notion of cached location is documented in the GIL design guide but it makes users to deduce answer to What the cached locator is for?
