A problem addressed by Rob Kendrick's Caches application:
<quote>
!Caches provides a shared location for the storage of transient cache data.
It is intended to be used instead of !Scrap or Choices for data that's
helpful to keep around, but not the end of the world if it is deleted. It
was created to let people keep cached data if they store their !Scrap in
a RAM disc.

But if people/developers don't take advantage of it ...
... what are we to do?
I myself use Scrap for some Pic_Index data - if you delete it it just takes
a little longer to start, just like NetSurf!
