Speaking of cache_self, here's a feature that I've implemented enough times
to wish it was built-in: cache expiration on the <unit time>.  For example,
a cache that expires at 00:00 each day.  (That's something very different
than an expiration time of 24 hours.)

A second request:

    <% STUFF |myescape %>

where a piece of my code gets passed STUFF, either as a string or as a
"live" snippet of Perl.  Right now, I have to do:

    <% 'STUFF' |myescape %>

and the quotes annoy me, as does the need to eval manually.
