Shouldn't there be some way to flush the caches (in _retrieve_cache)?
I.e. some style that says when the caches should be rebuilt.
This could be done either by a style with values that describe update
policies sensible in enough possible contexts or by using a boolean
style and let users use `zstyle -e' to implement their own policy (and
of course users could do that in the first case, too, but there may be
ways to make this more convenient for common cases).
