$r->no_cache is near useless without setting Pragma and Cache-control.
there are far more people writing Perl Apache modules than C, I see
nothing wrong with saving confusion for the Perl users.  besides, it
wouldn't be the first time mod_perl has molded the C api to be more
Perl-ish.  on top of that, less Perl ops == faster, shaving a little here
and there adds up to decent savings.
