Steve,

Ah!  Light goes on.

Well, we could still wedge the cache into the layer and then it would
just automatically work.  But I'm thinking I like your way better.  Nice
and simple and straightforward.

Would it make sense to have a function for getting the shape from
the result cache?  So that we could leave it null for some providers
(like shape or raster) and have this function call getShape when it isn't
in the result cache?

Best regards,
