I am no expect at all of the code base. 
Wouldn't returning LocalCacheImpl happening in very very specific cases and 
thus not be of quite limited use?

And that resonates with the discussion of splitting the interceptor logic into 
before and after methods. And keeping the state not in the interceptor but in a 
type less stack passed to these methods. That would  probably reduce the 
unnecessary allocation you are seeing. This also opened the doors for moving 
locks outside the execution thread AFAIR. 

Was this approach ever put on paper even as a few paragraphs somewhere ?
