Current implementation is not persistent. But fyi, I already thought
about adding a persistent cache option. And it is in my TODO. I'll file
a bug about it.

Yep. But take in account that GrlNet will not cache per sé, but use
libsoup cache feature. So at the end, it will be libsoup the one doing
the cache.

Already contemplated. The idea is that sources will need to provide a
name or identifier to the cache in order to use it (for instance, the
source name).

Unless I forget something, I think each source uses its own grlnet
object. For the case of persistance, I'll add in the documentation that
is not recommended at all use the same grlnet object at the same time.
