I would be interested in seeing a use case for that.

This is just an example I could think of (there may be other better examples 
but I am in a rush and I can't concentrate):

Client code A selects a bunch of records from TableFoo in order to update them; 
cache is disabled to prevent the creation of cache entries that would be 
expired after a few milliseconds.

Delegator makes a database call to get the bunch of records.

Client code B selects a bunch of records from TableFoo in order to format a 
list in a web page; cache is enabled in order to hit the cache after the first 
visit to the page.

Delegator makes a database call to get the bunch of records.

If client code A used the cache, then client code B would not have to make a database call (or the reverse).

The problem with your use case is, a developer is trying to determine the best caching strategy, and that is not something you can decide at design time. Instead, that is a decision that needs to be made during staging - where you can measure the real-world effects of concurrent processes.
