As raised on jabber...
I just noticed "cache" is too generic when I saw src/lib/cache (it also
applies to the resulting library, libcache.{a,so}). Consider,
e.g. the fact we already have the "hot spot cache" for data source.
Also consider BIND 10 may not even specific to DNS. Even without
taking these into account, "cache" still sounds too generic and can
be quite ambiguous.
So, IMO, it should have a more specific name.
This is probably part of a larger packaging matter, though (e.g.,
whether we want to provide the cache library as a stand alone library
that can be exclusively used by third party applications, or whether
it's intended to be used only as part of the resolver
(library/server)).
But I'm creating the ticket anyway so that we won't forget it.
