Sigh.

len == length, nr == number. No? Too intuitive, right?

And no, not infofiles_nr. It wants to be nr_infofiles. And while at it
please either use infofiles or info_files, but not a mixture of
both. Random underscores are not enhancing readability at all.

What's wrong with

        r->info_files = res_cache_info_files;

Nothing, but it would be too easy to read. This is not the obfuscated
c-code contest.
