1497,Expose 'meth_cache' attribute of class.pmc,Austin_Hastings,whiteknight,"Taking over `find_method` for a class currently does not totally work because object.pmc checks to see if a method appears in the class object's `meth_cache` before proceeding to any other form of dispatch.

In theory, this is great if `find_method` is returning the same method all the time, *and* if the method in question hasn't been called prior to taking over the `find_method` vtable.

Both of those are questionable (read: invalid) assumptions.

The cache is a good idea, but either (1) the vtable override should take precedence over the cache; or (2) the cache should be manageable from the introspection interface.

If (2), then (2.a.) the cache should be clearable, or automatically cleared whenever a vtable override occurs; and (2.b.) there needs to be a way to turn caching off, so that a method which does not return the same sub all the time can function.",bug,closed,normal,,none,2.1.0,medium,fixed,,,,,
