From my point of view, that's the trade off things.

I think database doesn't need to handle all situations and conditions.
In other words, "One size does not fit all."

Honestly, I'm not interested in building a complex and huge tool.
I love "Keep it simple, stupid" discipline. So, I just created a tiny tool,
which would be useful in many situations, not *all* situations.

In pqc, a programmer is still able to handle life cycle of the cache
with using hints. I think it's enough to solve many performance issues.
That's what I wanted to pqc.

Of course, if rich customers want me to invest *more integrated*
query cache for PostgreSQL, I will welcome them. :)
