[1] We're not going to call it __version__ are we? Seems like
__cache_token__ is a much better name.
While I understand the rationale against __version__, it strikes me as a
better description of what it is, and easier on the brain than
__cache_token__. Maybe there is something even better, such as
__seqnum__. This is literally what the attribute
is, a sequence/revision number, as with the Python repository, without
the connotations of 'version', as in 'Python version'. Each commit to
CPython changes the repository state without changing the 'version'. A
dict.update may run thru 1000s of sequence numbers, but only the final
result is a 'version' from the programmers point of view.
