[phobos] Clear appending cache?

[Steve Schveighoffer]

Appender is currently much faster than array appending because it has a 
dedicated place to store the array length/capacity.  Simply wrapping arrays 
makes it much slower (which has a necessarily very convoluted way to lookup the 
block capacity).  Or am I missing something?
