     * Determines whether all created encoders are cached permanently.
     *
     * An encoder is a structure used internally by JScrewIt to remember the result of certain
     * time-consuming operations performed when `encode` is called with some particular features.
     * Keeping encoders in the cache allows them to be reused when `encode` is called again later
     * with the same features, which can greatly improve performance.
     *
     * Whenever `encode` is called with new features, a new encoder is created.
     * If `encode` is called again with the same features specified in the very last call, the last
     * used encoder is reused.
     * By default, only the last used encoder is retained in the cache permanently, while other
     * encoders used in earlier calls to `encode` may be eventually discarded to free up memory, at
     * the discretion of JScrewIt.
     *
     * ```js
     * const r1 = encode("1", { features: "V8_SRC" }); // Encoder for feature "V8_SRC" is created.
     * const r2 = encode("2"); // Encoder for default feature is created.
     * const r3 = encode("3"); // Last used encoder is reused.
     * doSomething();
     * // Encoder for feature "V8_SRC" will be reused if still cached;
     * // otherwise, a new one will be created.
     * const r4 = encode("4", { features: "V8_SRC" });
     * ```
     *
     * By setting `encode.permanentCaching` to `true` it is possible to enforce that all created
     * encoders are kept in the cache, thus improving performance in certain situations, for example
     * when multiple calls to `encode` with the same features are alternated with calls to `encode`
     * where other features are specified.
     *
     * If you change this setting to `true`, don't forget to switch it back to `false` again when
     * you are finished encoding in order to allow the memory used by the encoders to be released.
     *
     * Unless you have a reason to change this setting, such as when `encode` is called repeatedly
     * with alternating features, it is recommended to keep the default setting of `false`.
