Oh wow, thank you!

I'd been poking through them with plain old `sqlite3` and then deserializing all the plist data with something like `pbpaste | xxd -r -p > foo.plist` for examination, but had no idea datasette existed and https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-bplist#user-content-t... seems like the ticket for browsing these.

For others: all the Caches.db files are the per-process HTTP cache that NSURLRequest/NSURLSession keeps, so if you peek at it you can see (partially) a history of network requests that process has made. Most of them seem to pull feature flag configuration from https://bag.itunes.apple.com/bag.xml, but others do more interesting things.
