Object aliasing support in memcache?

[allan zhang]

For example, I want to store a guy's profile into memcache, if I can get it
either from SSN or name+birthdate, it will be great. Otherwise, I have to
map one key to another key (one more table is needed) then get it from
memcache. Storing two object by two different will even not be considered
since duplication will cause consistency and storage issue.

Another example is from our planned project:) but can not give details
here:)

Thanks
allan
