Comment (by spacedmonkey):

 I understand the desire for this ticket to go into core. But apart from
 the redis examples seen  in this ticket, how would this work in other
 object cache drop-ins. How would this work for a memcache implementation?
 If someone could link to or provide a code snippet for a memcache or other
 object cache implement, that would be helpful.

 If we can reliably have a way for keys in a group to be in core, then
 sadly, this function can not live core. The worry is that someone calls
 `wp_cache_delete_group` and it simply does not work. If this function
 existing in core, we could need some way to backfill / pollyfil, like done
 in wp_cache_get_multiple patch. Again, a can't think of a good way to do
 this without massively refactoring the internals of the object cache.
