I have a somewhat similar requirement, but I'm curious about this specific
approach.  It sounds as if an object may go into the cache with a given key,
but in some scenarios if that key is already in use, that object would use a
different key in the cache.  Is that accurate?

This sound as if you might be using the cache as a queue or something to
delineate prioritization or ordering.

I know this doesn't resolve the particular add/delete/add scenario, but I'm
curious about the requirements side.
