Comment(by nejucomo):

 Also, I'd like to remind everyone of ticket #280.  The purpose of #280 was
 to provide an API call specifically for caching.  I believe it can be
 implemented with a very small change to Tahoe, no changes to the storage
 format, and moderate complexity in the clients.


 Otherwise, my USD 0.02 on caching design is to leave it out of Tahoe
 proper.  If the community really wants it, we can make a standard caching
 component that looks like the wapi on the outside, but lives separate from
 the main node codebase.

 I prefer implementation simplicity:  Minimize feature count and number of
 configuration states per component with high test coverage, then hook
 components together.
