Indexing caches?

The sequential scanning function for credential caches is obviously
going to be a linear search. (At least, I hope this is obvious, as
a faster way isn't obvious to me.)
There is a choice for the retrieve function, however. It could be a
simple wrapper for the search functions, calling next_cred until it
finds the one it wants and then returning. But it wouldn't be too
hard to keep indexing information in the krb5_ccache_id (I am already
using the void *data field of the structure as a pointer to another
structure, so I could put it there) which presumably would make
retrieve faster.
I don't know if it's worth it. Comments?
