Research direction
This issue requests documenting the NUMBA CACHE DIR environment variable. First, locate the documentation file where environment variables are listed, likely in the `docs/` directory (e.g., `docs/source/envvars.rst`). Then, add a description based on the referenced comment in issue #3470, explaining the purpose and usage of the variable. No source code changes are required.
