[TYPO3-dev] Disabling caching while using the caching framework

Nobody answered yet, so I guess there is no standard way to do it.

I'm doing it manually now and check if the backend user is logged in OR
the no_cache parameter is set:
> $useCache = $GLOBALS['BE_USER']->user == null
>     && !isset($_REQUEST['no_cache']);

Maybe it helps someone.
