Subject: Leaner autodoc cache

We cannot consistently maintain a local cache, because of
re-evaluations of external symbols will go unnoticed. The new strategy
(remembering only the latest signatures) mostly works, although it
introduces a bit of extra flickering every now and then.

A global cache is perhaps worth considering.
