Comment (by ivanp):

 It's not just about our plugin. I believe this function will resolve many
 other issues across the board. We saw users with tech knowledge
 invalidating the cache directly in the DB to answer their various use
 cases. But that's the power users. The regular editors will be happy to
 get this function too.

 As to our plugin particularly, I am proud with the way it currently
 smoothly integrates into native WP functions so that the solution is
 future-proof for any changes you guys make in the core. Well, except this
 approach stumbled in 4.0 where the core assumed that embeds won't change,
 whereas it is not the case. There are various other plugins that let
 people customize YouTube options, etc. Even changing system-wide maxwidth
 parameter would require embeds to be re-query-ed (whereas I think it's not
 the case at the moment)

 As it stands, the core gives a user the control over everything except
 embeds previews. I believe it should be improved :)
