Cache is a much overloaded word. Keep in mind, this is an open source project, so I strongly encourage you to make the change and submit a patch (sure, it's a breaking change, but it's not that big of a deal at this point). We'd love to have more contributors to ShadeTree (hint hint)! :) @Avrish: Yeah, I thought that, too. Cache is a much overloaded word.

What is it about it that makes it a cache? Seems like a dictionary with a default new item behavior. In python they call it a defaultdict, if I'm not mistaken. Please consider renaming this to correctly reveal its intention, as "Cache" is very vague for a general-purpose utility such as this.
