* Cache store feature: key awareness.
*
* This is a feature that cache stores and cache loaders can both choose to implement.
* If a cache store implements this then it will be made responsible for tests for items within the cache.
* If the cache store being used doesn't implement this then it will be the responsibility of the cache loader to use the
* equivalent get methods to mimick the functionality of these tests.
*
* Cache stores should only override these methods if they natively support such features or if they have a better performing
* means of performing these tests than the handling that would otherwise take place in the cache_loader.
*
* Can be implemented by classes already implementing cache_store.
