## ]Caching
All queries are cached for five minutes by default. If you don’t want to
use the cached value, then set the (first) cache argument to false.
You can adjust the default caching time limit by setting the
R_VERSIONS_CACHE_LIMIT environment variable in milliseconds. E.g. the
default five minutes is 5 * 60 * 1000 = 300000.
