this is indeed a good suggestion. I've implemented some functionality that implements this like the 'htable' module, e.g. added a new PV "$mctex(key) = expire time" to change the expiration time for an existing value. Does this matches your idea?
Yes.
Wow, thank you Henning! I did not expect you to actually implement it; I was just throwing it out as a suggestion. But this is wonderful and will certainly transform the situation. I really appreciate it.
