Try to retrieve the requested value out of the cache. If it's not there, or out of date, @racket[dynamic-require] is used to update it from the source.

These functions are the lower-level cousins of @racket[get-doc] and @racket[get-metas], which have a more convenient interface. Unless you have a special reason, you're better off using those.
Despite their names, these functions actually rely on @racket[setup:main-export] and @racket[setup:meta-export] (which default to @id[default-main-export] and @id[default-meta-export]). Thus, if you override those names, everything will still work as expected.
If you want the speed benefit of the cache, you should @bold{always} use @racket[cached-doc] and @racket[cached-metas] to get data from Pollen source files. That doesn't mean you can't also use functions like @racket[require], @racket[local-require], and @racket[dynamic-require]. They'll just be slower.
