Trust me, it works :)
This was one of the basic design goals of the new cache, but the code
for it was never written.
It was logged as a bug against the original v1.3 proxy cache, which
suffered from thundering herd when cache entries expired.
At some point soon when my mailbox is a little less full and I have a
week or two spare, I plan to fix this problem if nobody beats me to it :)
