I am curious as to why the cache methods all return void: http://docs.fuelphp.com/classes/cache/usage.html What is the best way to test for a successful / failure action using the the cache methods?

In general FuelPHP doesn't use return values to signal state, it uses exceptions. For cache the generic flow is:

try
{
    $var = \Cache::get('cache_key');
}
catch (\CacheNotFoundException $e)
{
    // determine the var value
    $var = 'value to cache';

    // store it in the case for 60 seconds
    \Cache::set('cache_key', $var, 60);
}

Thank you, I found that method useful for setting / checking the cache, but not for making sure a cache was deleted. Delete cache doesnt seem to return anything:
/**
* Delete Cache
*/
public function delete()
{
$file = static::$path.$this->identifier_to_path($this->identifier).'.cache';
@unlink($file);
$this->reset();
}

Can you create an issue for that on http://github.com/fuel/core/issues, this is not really consistent.

Thank you for your suggestion. I am keeping a list of the issues I will need to submit, as well as code improvements I've found. I will submit these all in a batch once I get the first phase of our app launched.
