I thought about that while writing it, but decided that it was not worth
complicating the initialization and cleanup with conditionals. The
initialization is on par with what we would normally do with a static
struct initializer, and the cleanup is a noop if the cache wasn't
touched.

So my thinking was that it didn't matter either way, and dropping the
conditional was one less thing for readers of the code to have to worry
about.

That said, I'm not opposed to doing it the other way.

Yes, it should be correct either way.
