Isn't this strikingly similar (identical?) in function to my request for
addition of "touch"?  Or have I missed something?

I agree that the Subject: header was misleading, but I wasn't sure of
how else one might use a "refresh" / "touch" command.  But refreshing
sessions like you describe is actually using memcached as a second level
cache, isn't it? :-)  The primary cache being the session object in the
server.
