I use this kind of caching all the time, which I find very easy and a 
good "bang for the buck":

        def foo(self):
                if self._foo is None:
                        self._foo = whatever()
                return self._foo

I therefore am paying attention to caching, but not necessarily 
designing and implementing a caching framework from scratch.

I think your PROBLEM statement misrepresents WebKit development when it 
says that developers have to start from scratch or go without. I do 
neither.

I'm not saying that your caching framework ideas don't offer some 
bonuses over "caching in object attributes", just that the PROBLEM 
statement is too strong.

In any case, good luck. It will be interesting to see if you and Terrel 
collaborate on this. If you haven't read this yet, you should:

I'm certainly open to tweaking and refactoring WebKit to support a good 
CacheKit.
