+#### `caching`
+
+Enables or disables caching.
+
+`"always"` will cache everything. This is overly agressive, and will cause stale types when CSS imported by CSS is modified.
+The cache key is the filename of the CSS file directly imported by TypeScript. Restarting the TypeScript server will clear the cache.
+
+`"never"` (default) regenerates types for every CSS file, every time any file is changed. This causes significant latency in editor
+operations (autocomplete, import suggestions, etc) in large projects, even when editing non-CSS files.
+
+Unfortunately, there's no balanced option or correct invalidation possible, due to typescript and the various CSS tools having
+different module loading systems.
