Actually, I'm pretty darn skeptical about the value of such a cache for
most use-cases.  But as long as it can be turned off and doesn't leave
residual overhead nor massive added code cruft, I won't stand in the way
of someone else investing their time in it.

In any case, as you say, it's moot until somebody steps up to do it.
