Agreed, IFF the store is changed to be capable to run without any
cache_dir. Running without any cache_dir is NOT the same as no_cache.

The "null" cache dir is a cludge to configure Squid without any
cache_dir, not another method of specifying "no_cache deny all".

A Squid proxy cache running with no cache_dir is still a cache,
caching hot and negative objects in memory.

A Squid proxy cache running with no_cache deny all is not a cache,
merely a proxy.

Henrik
