Description
When using this on the command-line it would be useful if you could opt to get a previous response for the same prompt/system/model/options - if one exists:
cat file.py | llm "explain this file" --reuse
That way you could safely run loops against larger amounts of data while avoiding paying for the same prompt twice.

Research direction
Start at the command-line entry point for llm and trace how the prompt, system, model, and options are handled. Work out how the --reuse invocation should identify a matching previous response, then exercise the shown cat file.py | llm "explain this file" --reuse workflow and verify that repeated runs avoid paying for the same prompt twice.
