Assuming I wouldn't know about the subtle characteristics of normal vs. 
cache variables, I think I would expect that var has the value of the option 
afterwards.

I.e. on the first run it would be OFF (since that's the default value of the 
option), and all later runs it would have the value which is in the cache.
