deleting the entire cache

[Justin]

I don't know C well enough to be able to tell if this is do-able without
slowing down memcached.

Would it be possible to have something like a flush_match command?

Say I have a bunch of keys like "uid:43:userinfo", "uid:43:profile1", etc
etc... It'd be super-cool if I could do something like "flush_match uid:49",
and memcached nukes all keys that start with uid:49.  I'm not talking about
a fullblown regex, just very simplistic front-of-string matching.

It does.

I might as well make a new release (even though it'll be boring and
small).  One sec.
