[Request] Consolidate "Clear MEF Component Cache" Into Tweakster #74

HI Mads,

It would be great if you could roll your other extension "Clear MEF Component Cache" into this one. I have to use "Clear MEF" quite a bit and I am sure others who install it end up using it a lot as well.

I do not know if you are for or against consolidating extensions, but I think Clear MEF would be a suitable candidate.

Why do you need to clear the MEF cache so often? Is it for when you're writing VS extensions?

Mads,

While I do some extension authoring, I have noticed it seems to correspond also with my habit of trying out different extensions regularly and with the more frequent updates that Visual Studio receives now. For example, I see a lot more of the error messages saying "PACKAGE COULD NOT LOAD..." on startup after VS updates / extension changes and end up having to clear the cache.

I do use Resharper, which may or may not be a contributing factor, but I have never dug into whether that is a cause.

Anyways, let me know if you need more details or anything.
