This is a shot in the dark question, but is it in the maintainer's

context and a key for storing a value.
Are any of these ideas of interest to the maintainers? I have the
skill to
implement these changes myself (and can contribute), but thought I
would try
going to the source(no pun intended) before forking this great
project.
There are two proposals for this currently (everyone flog me for not
putting this on the wiki and pointing to it):
1) Regex (or prefix) clearing.
2) Tagging (and tag clearing).
Both work in a similarly. Here's the description I wrote of the
wildcard delete mechanism:

The same thread goes over tags a bit, but effectively, you'd be able
to tag the key with the server name and delete by the server name tag.
