Prefer -able over -eable

The grammar rule is that the final silent "e" of the root verb is dropped,
except for root verbs ending in "ce" and "ge".

The only exceptions are:
	cachable->cacheable
	gatable->gateable
The Google Ngram Viewer shows overwhelming use of cacheable and gateable
in practice.
