a cache and a library are different in goal, if not implementation. I
have some revisions that are very expensive to rebuild. I have those in
my library, and I would consider it a bug if tla -ever- removed those
'automatically'. Conversely, for things like the tla trees, which I
don't want any dedicated space in my revlib for, a cache would be ideal,
as it would cut down the duplicate pristine trees.
In short: trying to combine them is premature. The argument of less code
is not very effective: combine the code, struture them the same, but
only magic-trim the cache.
