Adding a module may work for that. I would like unbound to be easily 
extensible, however, I did not want to bloat with useless features. If 
the design can be improved to help module incorporation, I would like to 
help.

No. The caches are accessible from the module_environment struct. The 
caches can be read or written by modules.

This is necessary for things like getting and setting lameness by the 
iterator, or keeping track of timeouts.
