Cache versioning

Can cache have some version system? When I search for some documents in cache I find only latest version, also, it is not clear what I get pressing link in opera:cache. Going by link seems to load page from internet, Save to download folder saves some version from cache in file, I don't know it is latest or what.

Can it be more flexible and clear? For example, every item found in cache, has expand button, pressing it node expands to "Latest from network", "Latest from cache", "Cached on hh/mm/ss", "Cached on hh/mm/ss+n"

Disk space is not an issue these times, really. Recovered document is more valuable.

Ok, I just realized - it is not how browsers work, blablabla. OK, let's call it archive. Each document in cache, before being overwritten or deleted, is sent to archive.

Answer like "extension API has this and that function to work with cache, it is worth to you to write extension for your needs" is also acceptable

Going to some page to find out it was recently deleted is fairly worthless 'cause the cache will have been overwritten.

Imho a cache is a cache is a cache, thus it should do one thing (cache stuff to speed up the browser) and do that well.
