Comment:

 The cache backends I am familiar with do not have any support for groups.
 I'm afraid that the current proposal - though great conceptually - is not
 going to work given this limitation. Field-specific lookups, like in
 `get_term_by()`, will always need either (a) their own cache, or (b) to
 become wrappers for the more generic query, whose cache key is salted with
 an incrementor.
