Actually a cache was part of my symtable redesign years ago. It never made 
it into the compiler. But it was designed with a slightly different idea 
in mind: If you do a symtable lookup you can have many symtables to 
process:

- With statement
- Local variables
- Parameters
- Object symtables, one per inherited object
- Unit symtables, two per loaded unit (interface & implementation)

The idea was to remove this lineair search through all symtables.

The concept never made it in the final compiler.
