SIMBAD cache question #3530

Description

@keflavich

@ManonMarchand in #2954, the caching machinery was removed in favor of lru_cache. My understanding is that this cache does not persist between sessions, it's purely in-memory, which is quite different from the previous mode.

Did you give any thought to a means for session-to-session caching as we had previously? This was my main use case. I discovered today that I'm unintentionally spamming SIMBAD with massive numbers of repeat requests because I thought I was using cached queries but was not.

@bsipocz do you have any feedback on this? The caching system was the source of some user problems in the past, but it was incredibly useful.
