I'm not sure if there is an easy way or not already, but it would be great if the Populate method could also take in a transform parameter to set the parent of the game object being instantiated, as it would be good to clear up the hierarchy.

Unity 2021.1 contains some really useful classes and interfaces for creating pools. I wonder if they may be of use once 2021.1+ turns LTS?

I'd be happy to make a PR with some adapters and things down the line if that's something you'd be interested in?

Thanks for this superb library!

Request a function to clean up all cached objects. The reason is the game I am working on has hundreds of enemy and environment object types, it is however in each stage only a few will be selected from the set, and rarely reuse in the next stage.
Therefore cached leftover objects will be overwhelming after the game running a prolonged period of time. It would make sense for me to have a function to cleanup all cached objects or re-init the pool.

Please kindly consider.
