[bug]: snippet -f is not really working, and clearing the cache is odd.

[seefood]

What happened?

I collected a few functions and aliases in a github gist. after the first time I load them with zinit snippet they stay cached. zinit snippet -f does not ignore the cache, it fails:

I tried rm -rf ~/.cache/zinit but it persists.

I finally found about zinit delete via a search.

therefore:

1. zinit snippet -f needs a fix.
2. zinit help should be more helpful about cache management.
3. consider zinit cache list/clear, or at least some documentation where the snippet cache is stored (why not in ~/.cache/zinit?)

Steps to reproduce

zinit snippet -f $URL

Relevant output

Setting up snippet: opt_-f,--force -f
ERROR: The source file opt_-f,--force -f doesn't exist.
Copying opt_-f,--force -f…
cp: cannot stat 'opt_-f,--force -f': No such file or directory
