This is an implementation for the PSR-6 for an hierarchical cache architecture. 

If you have a cache key like `|users|:uid|followers|:fid|likes` where `:uid` and `:fid` are arbitrary integers. You
 may flush all followers by flushing `|users|:uid|followers`.
  
It is a part of the PHP Cache organisation. To read about features like tagging and hierarchy support please read
