OK -- a *little* quick on the trigger there. My solution: Declare the 
method const, and assign the non-essential cache stuff to local 
variables, casting away the constness.

(Still open to schooling on the design part of this, though. Perhaps 
declaring a method as const is no good when it's not *really* const? 
For now, I'm just doing it to check that I don't inadvertently change 
things I don't want to change.)
