The best solution I could come up with was creating a wrapper function
which ensures the cached value is always up-to-date. It does the some
kind of preprocessing for different variables. I copy it here for
reference:
(defun get-cached-value (sourcevar)
"Return cached value for the given source variable SOURCEVAR."
(let ((cachevar (intern (concat (symbol-name sourcevar) "-cache")))
(prevvar (intern (concat (symbol-name sourcevar) "-prev"))))
(unless (and (boundp cachevar)
(eq (eval prevvar) (eval sourcevar)))
(set cachevar
;; do some caching/preprocessing here
...)
(set prevvar (eval sourcevar)))
(eval cachevar)))
Invocation: (get-cached-value 'varname)
