// loads types. Here we are populating the cache only with things we looked for, so that
// next time we are looking for the same thing, the lookup is fast. This cache also
// takes care of TypeForwarders. Gives about 8% win on subsequent lookups in some
// scenarios.
//
// CONSIDER !!!
//
// However, it is questionable how often subsequent lookup by name is going to happen.
// Currently it doesn't happen for TypeDef tokens at all, for TypeRef tokens, the
// lookup by name is done once and the result is cached. So, multiple lookups by name
// for the same type are going to happen only in these cases:
// 1) Resolving GetType() in attribute application, type is encoded by name.
// 2) TypeRef token isn't reused within the same module, i.e. multiple TypeRefs point to
// the same type.
// 3) Different Module refers to the same type, lookup once per Module (with exception of #2).
// 4) Multitargeting - retargeting the type to a different version of assembly
