Description

On https://quarto.org/docs/computations/caching.html it is stated

You can also enable caching on a per-cell basis (in this you would not set the document level option)

for an example where the document-level option is cache: true and the cell-level is also true. It is not clear how broadly the parenthetical comment should be read: is it that when you have 'execute: \n cache: true' there is no point in setting a cell-level option 'cache: true', or is it that when you set a cell-level cache, you can't/shouldn't set the document-level option?

If the former, perhaps change the cell-level option in the example to 'cache: false', if the letter perhaps be more explicit, e.g. '(if you set a document-level caching option, you cannot change it at the chunk level)'?
