Themes get a special HOOK_theme() that is exactly like the module version, but they do not get a corresponding alter.
That makes more sense. I'm a proponent of ignoring that special case for now since it's doing it's own caching and just implementing a caching version of module_invoke_all....
although I don't think we need to add the logic for caching in module_invoke_all itself since it is a called my many other modules, just extend what we have with a wrapper that implements the caching.
I didn't suggest that the caching happen inside module_invoke_all(), just that if a hook is named hook_foo_info() then there is caching. It probably should not happen inside module_invoke_all() itself. If hook_theme() takes parameters, though, how does it get cached? --Larry Garfield
