[Zope-PAS] Re: Authentication caching

[Stefan H. Holek]

Sure, take your time (/me holds off, slowly turns blue in face).

The main idea of my branch is to have all caching in PAS, so that  
individual plugins do not have to concern themselves with ZCacheable.  
I don't think it makes PAS more clumsy, it's just a few lines after  
all, but it makes auth plugins easier to write.

It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though.
