In reviewing getters docs, it was not clear whether the results of a getter were cached. This is alluded to in the remark "think of them as computed properties for stores", and in reviewing the source it's seen that they are in-fact computed properties under the hood, but I think the docs could benefit from describing this behavior more explicitly. In fact, this alone is a compelling feature of Vuex, as unlike Redux which requires a library like Reselect (or my own Rememo), Vuex has caching built-in to its selector equivalents.
