Why can’t it just be a plain remap plugin ? Is the concern here the cache key,
and if so, how much are you modifying of the URL? The default cache key is the
remapped URL (after remap / remap plugins), which is usually what you want (but
obviously not always).

See e.g. regex_remap plugin, which is just a simple remap plugin.
