Suggestion for future version of memcached?

[Randy Wigginton]

The namespace feature would be very nice.

Another feature that I would love to see: Flush all expired objects  
immediately.

Why would I want this?  So I can get accurate statistics about memory  
used by non-expired objects.  For example, in using memcache for  
session management, it is hard to see whether the instance is large  
enough or not.

Also would be nice to see stats on ejected non-expired objects; but  
that might exist already, I'm not sure.
