We might get lucky (stumble across a good/elegant fix), but in general,
I'm in agreement here. If I thought it were simple, I'd have looked into
it myself. (But frankly, there's sections of the code that are a little
hard to follow - not by far the worst I've seen, but enough...)
Technical issues aside - once we get into changing that aspect of the
design, there'll be a lot of discussion pro/con on _how_ to trigger
cache flushing. Look at partial display, which is probably simpler
to implement and understand.
