 An operation-level customization always overrides a customization set on `@CacheConfig`.
 Therefore, this gives three levels of customizations for each cache operation:
 
-* Globally configured, available for `CacheManager`, `KeyGenerator`.
+* Globally configured, e.g. through `CachingConfigurer`: see next section.
 * At the class level, using `@CacheConfig`.
 * At the operation level.
 
+NOTE: Provider-specific settings are typically available on the `CacheManager` bean,
