Not sure how much mental capacity for API variations we expect from
people using caches, but I feel like this would score the highest
on Rusty's API scale. I'd even venture an opinion that it's less
confusing to require cache users to have their own (trivial) callbacks
than add API variants we can't error check even at runtime...
