 * Hi Frederick & w3tc
    Love the plugin.
 * Would be nice to have pause button like CloudFlare.
 * The use case is this: I have a live site that I am now duplicating to a live 
   testing server to do a big add-on development. The client will be looking here
   regularly and need all caching to be off. It would be nice to be able to keep
   the settings intact and simply pause all caching.
 * I could use the toggle all off checkbox, but this would change all the settings
   I have, and I would need to write them down in order to apply them again later.
 * I could also deactivate the plugin till later – does this fully remove all caching
   while the plugin is off?
 * It would still be nice to have simple pause button to use while doing a big dev.
 * Thanks
