Inspect buffer.

Does a library exist that can hook inspection requests and cache them? Is this do-able?

I just hook NoyifyInspect() to store the GUID of the unit being called and perform a scan on event "INSPECT_READY". When done, I store the info in a table with the GUID as the key.

Yeah that's fine on a per-addon basis, but I was thinking more of a cache "layer" that is invisible to addons. I suck at explaining

There are two (different level) concepts I used pre-4.0. They have both been updated by now, but I don't know how well they fare in a Cataclysm environment.

1. http://www.wowace.com/addons/libtalentquery-1-0/
2. http://www.wowace.com/addons/libgrouptalents-1-0/ , which uses the first one as a data basis.

Do you have to store the info after 4.0? the InspectUnit("unit") function seems to have stopped working as of 4.0. or is it just me?

Official notes state it has throttling code built in to prevent repetitive calls. You're only allowed so many inspection calls in so much time. This seems to be glitchy and only works half the time.
