Yeah, but at least we needn't rely on the user to have accessed that
part of the tree to get the cache. I reckon it will be quicker - even if
only in the users' perception.
I'm not sure we even need to go as far as a linked list do we? Won't a 2
dimensional array do it? We will know the size when it's create after
all. Anyway, even if we do it's not particularly difficult - I would be
tempted to knock up generic cache/cache object classes.
