Comment:

 Hello,


 In `_cached_function_unpickle` instead of
 {{{
 for k,v in cache:
     ret.cache[k] = v
 }}}
 you can simply do `ret.cache.update(cache)`. Moreover, in that function
 you should document the argument `cache`.

 I think that disabling the cache by default on pickle is a good
 improvement. However, the class `ClearCacheOnPickle` that you remove in
 your branch had several purposes: clear the cache on pickle but also on
 copy. Your version keep the cache on copy and that might not be
 appropriate for classes that used `ClearCacheOnPickle`.
