:period is confusing and limiting - here are some suggestions

[suan]

First of all wanna thank you for this utility gem! Just wanna share some constructive suggestions.

I believe period: 0 should be the default. A very common case is to get a result (here we wanna enforce a period), and to have an "update" get for the result (where it's very important to have NO period as updates could happen at any time) As a result in my code I cannot use :period at all, cause the :period set when I "get" is gonna block me from making updates (which might happen soon after)

Hope that makes sense. In short I suggest:

• make period: 0 the default
• Add an option to ignore the period, perhaps ignore_period: true (this would allow one to "update" at anytime while still having a period for actual fetches)

EDIT: Actually I realized that I didn't have to wrap my update request at all - just needed to delete the local cache after the update, so the "option to ignore period" prob isn't as useful as I thought... still think period should default to 0 to reduce confusion tho

I agree that period: 0 should be the default, or at least directly documented.
