Subject: Allow the cache to be permently disabled
The parse cache acts, in effect, as a memory leak. In situations where you are trying to minimise memory usage, and/or process a _lot_ of email addresses, continuous manual action is required to "free" this memory. At one extreme, this means that you need to purge the case after every parse call, in order to keep it empty. For these situations, some of $Email::Address::NOCACHE flag should be able to be set. This would not prevent existing cache values from being used, but would prevent new parsed addresses from being added.

It's _always_ about perspective :)

I have added enable_cache and disable_cache methods in the Subversion repository. The cache is still enabled by default.
