Also large objects don't look orthogonal to the existing functionality ( e.g. 
like the server are) but more like a core thing, like e.g. explicit locking.
OTOH I think that these (large objects, eager locking) are features to be used 
by "power users" and not necessarily to be exposed on the o.i.Cache interface. 
So an interface within the same module, perhaps even extending o.i.Cache would 
make more sense to me.
