Steve,

But all the code that uses the resultcache would need to know to use
the shape directly instead of calling msGetShape().  It would break
all mapscript applications that do queries for instance.  It seems
like a needlessly disruptive approach.

It doesn't *have* to bleed over into a full blown feature cache.
