This would have addressed a recent issue that arose when re-ordering our
"filesystem layers". Specifically moving the caseFilesystem to the
outermost layer. The previous cache included the filesystem, and as such
all the layers below. This isn't desirable (to put it mildly), as you
can create different variants of filesystems with different layers for
the same path and options. Concretely this did happen with the mtime
layer, which isn't always present. A test for the mtime related breakage
was added in #9687, and I intend to redo the caseFilesystem reordering
after this.
