Because the cache is no longer used field-by-field to fetch data, there's significantly less value in keeping it. Combined with the fact that each parser instantiation was already clearing the cache to avoid a security bug ( #371 ), the cache is no longer actually used at all in most (any?) contexts.
Remove the cache and all of the machinery associated with it (Parser._clear_cache, Parser._clone, and relevant checks).
Resolves #374
If there's some case I'm not aware of in which the cache is really useful, that's fine. But based on my reading, I don't think it really does anything anymore, so I'm proposing its removal.
