Sounds like a good non-normative suggestion to include ... but perhaps
simply extending the LRU with a hit count modifier.  Heavily used
forms would tend to fall out of the cache rather quickly if the
cache key wasn't matched.  It is is also heavily re-used then who
cares how many slots are tied up.  For that cache, it is is productive.
