I think the long-term goal is is to reduce the cost of parsing by
means of a binary protocol. Even there, the idea of adding
arbitrary extensibility was shot down as unnecessary overhead.
In practice, adding commands in binary protocol implementations of
both clients and servers has not been difficult enough to justify
any kind of extensibility within commands in general.
Most of what you described sounds like HTTP (ranges, arbitrary
headers, pre-data checks, etc...). There has been talk of adding an
HTTP front-end to memcached. I don't think anyone is terribly
opposed to the idea if it's clean, but nobody seems to want to write
it.
