Multiple eviction policies

[Wojtek Meler]

I love to respond to my own emails :).

Is there any interrest in memcached community in having multiple cache 
regions with different eviction policies in one memcached process ?
I need such feature and I'd like to get some of your requirements 
because it would be nice to have such patch in mainstream.

Regards,
Wojtek
