So this is a plus point for the current cache implementation right?
Currently for a normal Synapse user, the cache is completely transparent.
For instance a user can do:

<endpoint key="foo"/>

The endpoint will be imported from the registry and cached locally without
the user knowing it. But developers who write code on top of Synapse can
access the cache directly.

Well with the new config model, it's already in a separate file named
registry.xml. Perhaps what we should do it just take it off the
SynapseConfiguration and have it independently.
