When using cache_region decorator, beaker will use the following snippet to determine if it should instantiate a new cache for each function that was decorated with it.
When cache[0] is None, the decorator generates the missing cache if the corresponding region was defined with enabled = true and stores it in that local list.
I have a situation where I'm running unit tests on an application where I want to evaluate different combinations of cache regions with enabled/disable states. The problem with that local list storing the enabled cache is that if one test case later that must have it disabled, the if not cache[0]: check completely bypasses whichever new settings I set via cache_regions, since the cache is already created.
Also, since the Cache reference is stored in that local list (rather than global/package one), I cannot even wipe it.
Calling cache_managers.clear(), which has the same reference to that local cache added from the following lines will NOT clear cache[0].

Is there a way to avoid this? I struggle trying to monkey-patch the cache object in
cache[0]for my test cases.
