Ah, this is a good point. It worried me that we wouldn't be able to add
properties to the cache without a format bump once the code went live,
and Julian points out a possible way to rectify this (by including
absence as well as presence).

If we're concerned about space used by the entries file and/or the
processing time necessary to read each entry, we could adopt an approach
where the entries file has a declaration at the top which says "I am
caching the existence of properties foo, bar, and baz", and then each
cache entry is just a string "010" or something.
