FWIW, this doesn't preclude the other proposal if it ever gains traction and 
moves forward.  This just takes existing functionality and improves clarity and 
discoverability.

The core issue is that if you only want a simple unbounded cache, it isn't 
obvious that that behavior is buried in the lru_cache() API.  In hindsight, 
this always should have been separate functionality.  And some day we may 
deprecate the maxsize=None option which is somewhat opaque.
