Add an option not to cache specific relationships.

Good call! This would help rectify stale cache issues with existing API endpoints that reference resources across collections.

The case for doing this on a per-field basis is interesting but not one I'd thought of. My use case involves a model that changes frequently enough and is sensitive enough that I want to avoid caching its JSON representation at all. But, it would be nice if I could still declare the as_json schema (including different sets of properties, etc.) with a json_fields declaration in the same way as in my Mongoid::CachedJson models.

To summarize: this gem currently provides 2 things: a nice syntax for declaring a model's JSON schema, and caching of those results. Maybe it's worth considering how to offer those separately?
