I don't understand how new setting would be done as suboption, if we want to
preserve backward compatibility. Please give me hints.
We can't just allow things like
SOURCE_CACHE:MEMORY
SOURCE_CACHE:FOR_INTERUPTED:TRUE
- syntax doesn't allow this or will require a very intensive code changes
and will just confuse users more than one additional option
SOURCE_CACHE_FOR_INCOMPLETE.
Also, I wonder - what's the difference for the user between suboption and
new option? We have to document both.

First, "hacking the stuff into lynx" will require not more than 15 lines of
code - it's better to write them than to require user to configure "real
caching facility" that can't be controlled so detailed at all probably.
Second, don't forget about DOS - it's impossible to run squid on the same
machine at the same time.
