  \modulesynopsis{Stat files, and remember results.}

+ \deprecated{2.2}{Use \function{\refmodule{os}.stat()} directly instead
+ of using the cache; the cache introduces a very high level of
+ fragility in applications using it and complicates application code
+ with the addition of cache management support.}
+ 
  The \module{statcache} module provides a simple optimization to
  \function{os.stat()}: remembering the values of previous invocations.
