That's a great idea! I'll give it a try.
My concern is with simple methods using IDs as identifiers. Let's say an
accounting method creates a Map of invoices that need some kind of reconciling
done on them. Each invoice ID is a Map key. A high volume user might have
10,000 invoices, so 10,000 expressions are generated and kept in the cache.
Then in another simple method, orders are analyzed for backordered items and
the same approach is used. There are 10,000 orders so another 10,000
expressions are created and cached. There is no limit to how many places and
how many times this happens. I foresee a serious problem.
