Comment (by Howdy_McGee):

 I wouldn't mind seeing the cache being used in template functions such as
 `locate_template()`.

 Initially, I was all in favor of just using `WP_DEBUG` as the
 enable/disable flag for caching theme files until I realize that on live
 sites, I still keep `WP_DEBUG` and `WP_DEBUG_LOG` enabled to take care of
 any issues that crop up. So I would need to make a choice, what's better
 for this live site, caching the theme files or being able to log any
 potential issues that may crop-up upon plugin / theme updating?

 I like the functionality but I don't like ( along with many others ) it
 interfering with my development speed. I'm in favor of an additional wp-
 config flag to enable / disable this type of caching functionality; that's
 my vote.
