It sounds as if this feature has been added by others already and
hasn't found it's way into the main tree. Maybe it just wasn't coded
well enough to make it in. It seems it should be a really simple
feature to add, that shouldn't interfere with the running cache in any
way, and those whose use of the cache would make using save/restore a
bad thing could just choose not to use it. I can understand not adding
features that would have a negative impact on the project but stuff
that is essentially painless I can't understand leaving out. Project
management is never fun. At least with open source projects if I have
to have the feature I don't have to pay $300+ an hour and wait months
to get it done.
