retrieving all keys

... I don't like the text the way this entry's phrased currently, but 
there's the common answer to the common question :)

Remember to avoid using memcached as a store, and try to use it as a 
cache or ephemeral storage. Your code shouldn't need to know what the 
keys are, as data the code updates, updates its own cache :)
