My thought was, in memcacheGet(), you could retrieve the dogpile token
and the actual object in parallel. If the dogpile token is null, just
ignore the object return. If the dogpile token is valid, you already
have your return value.

I've added the getMulti support. It required adding a new method to the Memcache
interface which may make it difficult for anyone who has their own custom impl. 
I
doubt there's too many folks doing that though.
