		Cache Name
		Each Cache can have a name. If this name is given, any disk cache will be
		stored in files starting with that name. For example, a cache named 'MyCache'
		will be stored in ``MyCache_xxxxxx_yy.bphys``.

		sybrenAuthorUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions I wouldn't use "caches for" here; I see the cache as 'for' the particle system. It's connected to the object, though, which is why I used 'on' here. "always specify a Cache Name" is good. sybren: I wouldn't use "caches for" here; I see the cache as 'for' the particle system. It's connected…
		As described above, the filename of an unnamed cache is determined by the
		name of the object it is attached to. As a result, an object with multiple
		physics systems that all have an unnamed cache will cause conflict and
		can result in losing cache files.

		sybrenAuthorUnsubmitted Done Inline Actions It's not my intention to be aggressive, but to produce something that is scannable, rather than requiring people to read every word carefully (because they don't). I'm basing this on https://www.nngroup.com/articles/how-users-read-on-the-web/. sybren: It's not my intention to be aggressive, but to produce something that is scannable, rather than…
