Using path names as the `unit of caching' is, I find, often a big problem.
It means, for instance, that if I move a `world' (directory and all that is
under it) then things will get confused.  Also it means that if there are
multiple paths to something (hard links) then it won't be viewed as being
the same thing when reached along different paths.
