The low level cache interface (django.core.cache.cache) should expose a
method to flush out the entire cache. The primary use of this, off the top
of my head, would be to make it easier to test caching by flushing out
everything in between tests, although there are probably other use cases
as well.
Currently, in order to do this, you have to rely on different methods for
each backend. For example, with the memcached backend, you call
cache._cache.flush_all(), whereas with locmem, you set cache._cache = {}.
Having backends implement a flush method would make this consistent across
all supported backend options.
