 There is no way for plugins to add caching functionality to any of the
 HTTP functions (such as `wp_remote_get()`) in WordPress.

 An easy way to add this is to provide a short-circuit option just like
 that found in `get_option()` where a plugin can hook into
 `pre_option_{$option_name}` and return a value for that option.

 A simple filter which passes the arguments array and the URL will do
 nicely.
