/**
 * CDirectoryCacheDependency represents a dependency based on change of a directory.
 *
 * CDirectoryCacheDependency performs dependency checking based on the
 * modification time of the files contained in the specified directory.
 * The directory being checked is specified via {@link directory}.
 *
 * By default, all files under the specified directory and subdirectories
 * will be checked. If the last modification time of any of them is changed
 * or if different number of files are contained in a directory, the dependency
 * is reported as changed. By specifying {@link recursiveLevel},
 * one can limit the checking to a certain depth of the directory.
 *
 * Note, dependency checking for a directory is expensive because it involves
 * accessing modification time of multiple files under the directory.
