I needed a way to put in a command name that reflected the semantics
of "clear the cache". As far as I could see your commands are defined
separately, so I had to create a new class for it. My intent was to
allow more than one way to do this: either
gem sources -c
or
gem clear_cache
and this was the only way I could see to create this command. Maybe
there's a better way I have missed to add that command.
In case you're wondering why anyone would need another command: I didn't
know till I poked around in this what was actually cached. I didn't know
it was the sources as such. So "clear the cache" which people mention
didn't lead me to look at the source command. Therefore I thought people
would look for a separate command.
Thank you
Hugh
