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.
