Comment:

 I'm going to close this for now.

 As scribu said many months ago, you probably require a lot of information
 about the current process. Such a callback would likely be a closure that
 passes in information from current scope and such. Which is not bad, but
 this also isn't a pattern I've seen in any other caching backend, at least
 ones with popular PHP libraries. get/set/add/increment/decrement/etc are
 all standard. Something along the lines of "attempt" is not.

 You also typically do not want to set a cache value until after you have
 performed your work and are positive things are successful. This would
 make things much more difficult to catch, wait, etc. It's just a bit over-
 abstracted.
