You'd probably be safer by lazily building the cache and figuring out when 
the cache of a file was dirty.  This saves you a lot of trouble (and extra 
processor time during normal operations) versus the idea of keeping that 
cache in sync.

I'm also not quite sure that its worth the removal of visibility (== reuse).
